congratulations on your engagement.
i don't have much in the way of suggestions---what's already here is full of good advice. i would only emphasize two things--one is that if a particular venue won't let you know what you're getting yourselves into with an open bar, or with a limited open bar (x drinks then cash), find another. you can control costs and balance that against gregariousness.
if music is important to you, then pay attention to it. the succubus of bad taste lives off wedding receptions, sucking the blood of the living who submit willingly because they think they have to. if you don't like doing the hokey pokey in regular life, why would you do it at your reception? it should be a celebration for you, of you. this from someone who has attended many weddings....
