There are extremists who put up a mechitzah between the chosson and kallah, but we don’t put a mechitzah at a chassanah possibly because nobody except for the C&K are engaging in any religious ceremony. Their kedushah comes from joining together, so I would imagine that a mechitzah would be unproductive to this. You don’t need to separate the kahal watching the ceremony because that’s all they’re doing – watching. When there are activities that require separation, such as when the men daaven mincha or maariv or during the dancing, then there is a mechitzah. I would probably personally not object to optional mixed seating during the meal except for the fact that the dancing is in the same room and all of the men sitting around the women’s dance floor have front row seats, which I do not think is appropriate.
