helping in analysing a complex sentence

hi guys,

i got a sentence here,

I organised the company's annual dinner for 300 people, which was well received.

I don't think the above sentence tells you clearly that the party was well received by all of the 300 people. how do i clearly express that it was a party for 300 people and all the 300 people liked it. would the below work, although inelegant?

I organised the company's annual dinner for 300 people, which was well received by the 300 people.

thank you very much

Hi Clive and all,

If I do not want to be specific about the number of people who liked it, and just want to emphasize that the party was for 1000 people, can i say,
