If she made the suggestion then that's quite different. I agree with stevo_com better to check that there will be people willing and able to carry, and pre arrange (awkward asking people on the day depending on how well you know them and whether they feel able to say no for whatever reason). But please do consider the rest of the guests, if anyone else has issues with stairs. Are there loos on the same floor as the party?
Edit: just saw your reply. Hurm, I wouldn't rely on random other punters helping on the night. But you could ask the venue if their staff would do it. Or ask your guests to invite able+willing plus ones...
She made the suggestion, I understand
@hoefla as far as I am aware
The difference between the two venues is that one will host our party for free, including drinks and canapes, and the other we will have to pay for.
What would you do?
