How to do Reception Seating with Limited Space?

Annabelle, on June 28, 2020 at 12:20 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 5

We are having our wedding at my parent's country house. Ceremony in the woods, reception inside the house w/ entertaiment and dancefloor in backyard.

Basically, the house has two large living rooms and a large kitchen that connect together. Living room one is 24x21 feet. Living room two has about 18x14 feet of room to use (the remaining area im saving for a walkway). The large kitchen will have the food in it, and possibly 10 people will sit at the kitchen table in there (im thinking the bridal party). we also plan on fitting 8 teens in the closest bedroom.

My question is, how many people can we fit into the two living rooms if we put the dance floor and stuff in the backyard. I'm debating between rounds or banquet tables, 8 people at each table. Each table has a different theme, so they kinda need to be seperated.

The goal is to have minimum 85 people there, so 85-8-10= 67. Can I ft 67 people in 24x21 + 18x14 worth of room?

    So there’s not gonna be any furniture in the rooms? I guess I’m trying to imagine where do all the couches go? They’re just gonna be shoved to the far corners or something?

    I found a space calculator that might help you: https://www.banquettablespro.com/space-and-capacity-calculator

    There’s a website called AllSeated , it’s how I made my floor plan — that you can play around with and put in your measurements and then you can add tables and chairs and see how they fit in the space (their tables and chairs will be to scale)...I think you may need a computer to use it (instead of mobile), but it’s a pretty cool resource.


    That said. I had a tent wedding and in meeting with a tent company I remember specifically one guy saying a standard 5ft round table that seats 8 comfortable would need 10ft by 10ft of space when accounting for people with seated/eating/moving about. So to me that would seem a bit tight for comfort. But, play around with the website. They have different table shape options so you may discover some combination of table shapes and sizes that best suit your space

    Beds are going into back bedroom. Couches and tables will be moved to the backyard for people to sit in next to the dancefloor and entertaiment. Atleast, that's the plan
