CLM BRIDES -- question about minimums

Our minimum for the downstairs room is 150 but it looks like we're only going to have around 142. Did anyone else not make thier minimum and did they accomodate you in anyway (liek throwing something else in or anything like that?)??

I'd hate to pay for 8 more people and have it be a waste of $$ -- thats an extra $800 for nothing.
