How we estimate who comes

Most BC couples see about 85% of local guests say yes, and closer to 60% of guests who'd have to travel, a little less in winter. Plus-ones and children vary more, so we count about 75% of them. We give you a likely number and a safe number to plan for. Book a room that fits the safe number, since a room's top capacity is often for a standing reception or theatre seating, not dinner with a dance floor.
