I like the suggestion of putting the dance floor in the middle, although....do you think it would segregate the guests? I would be afraid we would end up with his family on one end and mine on the other. I'm also a fan of the candle light. I just wasn't sure how much I could get away with. As for other special lighting, how much does that usually cost? Thanks for the ideas.

Create an atmosphere. Also, using different size tables- high and low, round and rectangular, can produce a feeling of relaxed intimacy. Another idea is to create a lounge area with couches and cocktail tables to break up the expanse of the room. Food stations can be used to enhance the decor- a lucite table lit from underneath with levels of something delicious on each. Or, a table of cheeses and other wonderful finger foods. There are many ways to make a large space feel more intimate. Good luck with your wedding! Lighting is key to any room. Create an atmosphere.

Nobody will notice the edges of the room if all the focus is in the middle and this doesn't cost a thing. :) hey kat! just a couple more ideas for you – if you can’t hang anything, try screens like this one:
