My reception location does not have kitchen facilities (its a long story), so I was thinking I would like to have the dinner at a restaurant that is about a five minute walk away. The restaurant has a glassed in balcony that is separate from the rest of the restaurant. I was thinking of reserving the entire balcony and ordering the food in advance. I would like for us to do our toasts there and everything. Invited to the dinner will be the parents and complete wedding party plus dates/ immeadiate familes. DOes this sound amature or nice? The resaurant is european and quite fancy, the food is great and the servers are polite and friendly... I'm nervous that people will dislike the arrangements though, what do you think?

I should add that the wedding and reception are being held in the same place, the setup will be changed during the dinner so the dinner cannot occur in the same location.

the restaurant is a parking lot away from the reception location (an all glass hall beside the river). it is not a far walk, its more of an effort to get in a car than it would be to walk it. besides, thats not what the question is about.

I think this sounds nice. Try having a few wedding decorations pre set up for the dinner to make it more like a wedding theme than just a resturant. If you dont have a kitchen at the reception location than you dont have another choice but to go to this resturant. You said it was fancy, so as long as its not a fast food resturant you have no problem. People will love the food and the glassed in balcony sounds perfect!
Congrats!!

Since the wedding and the reception are in the same place- there is nothing wrong with having them go there- however- couldnt that restaraunt just cater the food so the guests dont have to go anywhere?
(changed my answer since you added your comments- my first answer said that it wouldnt be a good idea- but since you updated it doesnt sound that bad after all!)

That's a great Idea. It sounds really nice, and shows what a great heart you have. If anyone says this is a bad idea, then they better have a very good reason on why it is. From what you said this place sound top nuch, and would love to eat at a place like that. So you going to hook it up for one more seat right? ;)

Anyone that is invited that is a family or friend will walk 5 minutes. I walked ten minutes in a snow storm for a family members wedding. You will be fine

I don't see why anyone would have a problem with that. It sounds nice and elegant. Once your done with dinner then you can enjoy the reception. No caterer's or servers to bother you while you're having fun.

No roof is sufficiently massive for 2 women folk. somewhat whilst it somewhat is the present spouse, and the ex spouse. do not socialize along with her. once you attempt -- you're placing your self up for a NO -win subject. Your husband divorced her .. parted techniques along with her .. so permit or not it somewhat is that. permit her toddler visit her - then come back living house. permit her in any different case stay her existence without your loved ones. permit the divorce artwork. shop the distances. proportion the toddlers - yet it somewhat is all. Your international would be plenty greater effective in case you do not incorporate his ex on your very own affairs. specific - you proportion her little ones along with her .. yet permit it end with that. You all can nonetheless get alongside - and not combination & mingle. have confidence me, i be responsive to what i'm conversing approximately.

Sounds good. I would just recommend renting a bus/van of some type to shuttle the guests who don't want to/can't physically walk that far. Give the guests the option to walk or to take the bus.

that sounds fantastic. it sounds very exotic to have european food, polite and friendly servers, as well as a glassed in balcony area. if you are worried that ppl could dislike the arrangements, you could always ask several of them for their opinion as well. to me, i think that's a great idea.

It sounds nice; don't expect the guests to walk though and you should invite everyone who you invite to wedding. Good luck!
