I would look at it like this
Do you want to get married?
It makes no difference how many people are there. "It's YOUR day"
So parents only for ceremony. Keep it simple.
You can always have a party later for the rest. I'm sure many of them will be more than happy with that. 

What does this have to do with the OP's consumer rights?  I think if they wanted some random life advice, they'd have gone to mumsnet, not a Consumer Rights forum.

And your consumer advice to the OP is what?
Take a snipe at a suggestion?
So lets have your consumer advice please.

I don't have any consumer rights advice for the OP, but I'm also not about to give the OP some advice they haven't asked for.

I think that you might be entitled to a price reduction due to the restricted numbers, but I do not think the number of guests could be considered a fundamental breach that would allow you to unilaterally terminate the contract.

The OP booked a wedding ceremony plus afternoon meal for 46 and evening party for 106. How on earth can you say that changing that to 7 people is not a material breach? If they'd wanted a small event or just a ceremony they could have done it in a registry office. The guests are an integral part of the celebration.

It all depends on the contractual basis ... if all (or some) of it's priced per-head then a pro-rata price reduction would be appropriate.

As above, absolutely not. Certainly not on the decision of the venue. By all means they can offer a new package at a reduced price, but this has to be the consumers choice to accept or reject.
