It used ot be common around our area, but our Event planners are far
more considerate now.  we typically would plan for 175 based on space
limitations then try t cram another 10 to 15 into the corners and
closets.  Now we are able to establish a hard ceiling.  we still get the
odd request for special circumstances, so we sometimes have to make a
run to local market for a couple more pounds of meat or something.
