Hi all,
So, having been engaged for a year and having the church booked & organised for nearly as long, we have FINALLY now decided on a venue & finalised the guest list! 
We're looking at around 45 people, and have found the function room of a lovely pub with fantastic food.
The plan is church, on to pub, few drinks, lunch around 2pm for between 1/2hrs (taking us to around 4pm I think), then basically just stay in the pub! We figured on a canape-buffet thing around 7pm to keep everyone going, and maybe a few more people will pop in for drinks after this.
Sooooo, there's a big gap between finishing lunch & the buffet. While I'm sure a chunk of it can be filled with chatting etc, I'm concerned that there should be something else as well (having been to a couple of weddings recently with large empty gaps, and secretly complaining about it...!)
But I'm a bit stuck for ideas tbh. We're not going to have a disco at all as there doesn't seem to be enough people to warrant that (plus around 60% of the guests are old or infirm, and won't be up for dancing). Not sure about a live band as I'm concerned it might be a little loud, but I'm not writing it off completely.
Does anyone have any ideas??! We'd be looking to keep it as far under the £500 mark if possible - ideally below £300! The room we'll be in isn't huge, I think they said the maximum it can hold is 65 people, so we won't have acres of room!
There are speakers & an iPod dock in the room, and we're anticipating (from experience) the majority of the older people will be gone around 9-10pm, at which point we can turn the music up a bit.
It's just the between meal/buffet bit that's causing us a headache! 
Thanks in advance!!!
