I don’t know if i’m just being over pedantic with the big day getting closer but i checked out my reception venue yesterday
and there seems to be a built in stage area at the front of the reception. It is approximately a metre high from the floor .
My issue is if the decor specialists place the bride/groom couch on the stage wouldnt the bridal couch look strange located so high up compared to guests on the floor ?? Most desi weddings i’ve seen the stage is only less than a metre in height (even 20 - 30 cm) and you can easily step on and off the stage .. for my stage there is a small side stair case …
in my head it seems though me and my groom will be sitting much to high up and in the pictures it will look really wierd .
We also cannot place the couches on the floor area as it will decrease the size of the dancefloor too much and you still need a slight elevation for the couches to be placed on .
has anyone had this same problem ? stages are so beautiful from the ones i’ve seen i don’t want mine to look wierdly situated way to high :(((
Ive seen lots of stages this high and never thought it weird...I think it will looks wonderful! Don't worry about stuff like this, enjoy the days leading up to your wedding!
sorry but you need to have it lowered, 1 metre is ridiculous and dangerous if not constructed properly. you need to call them urgently, dont let them dictate the arrangements. you will both be looking your best, and the high stage will make the setup ugly.
@OP: I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. The stage height is just fine... There is no need for you to change anything. My sister's stage was about the same height as yours (or maybe even higher?) and everything (the decor & all) looked absolutely gorgeous! No one had any issues with getting on or off it.

no, you don't. and i doubt the hall would make that change, anyway, or have a badly constructed stage set up. they'd have been sued a long time ago if someone had fallen and/or if the stage had collapsed.
OP, you'll be fine! just let your decorators know so they can cover all of the stage, including the rise, with appropriate fabric, etc.
draping the stage with the right fabric and having extravagant decor on the actual stage will make it look a lot better than what you are seeing in an empty hall......
when the place is empty it tends to look awkward.
don't worry......there is no need to have anything lowered.
