Rishi -
I looked at the Westside loft for our wedding too, and we were assuming 200. We thought that that would be tight - but I think that you can make this work if you are creative. Some thoughts:

1. If you want this to be a party you cant make the dance space too small - so I wouldnt shrink that!. People hate feeling squeezed in when they dance

2. If you abort the sit down dinner and do an extended cocktail hour with small tables and chairs for 3/4 of the guests you will have plenty of space.

3. See if you can rent one of the smaller spaces (or the roof)on the site for the cereomony or cocktail hour. That way you can keep one whole side of the room for dinner and the other for dancing

4. Long rectangular tables will probably allow you to get the most people in to the smallest space

5. You can do a seated dinner first, follwed by dancing and have the tables removed during a passed dessert course

just ideas - let us know how you make out
