Okay I need urgent help guys! This is my reception space. I had planned to do the dancing outside bc it's small but the weather will be cold and rainy Friday night. Our head table will be on the right side in that dip by the window. Bar will serve out of the window in the kitchen. But where on earth do I put 8 round tables plus the catering and dj set up??? I have no idea how to arrange this and I want a plan before we set up tomorrow.

    My issue is where will the dance floor be without moving guest tables?

    How big is that space? My reception area wasn’t huge but it was still pretty spacey. We had about 90 people attend. Reception layout help 3

    Also the bar and food area was in a separate room. Ceremony and cocktail hour was outside!

    Thats the thing...no one could tell me how big the space is. Super frustrating. We will only have about 55 people. Good idea to move the food. I think I know somewhere else we can have the food.

    I’m surprised your vendor didn’t give you a map! I told them how many people would be at each table and they set up the layout for us. All of our tables were 60” rounds except for the smaller rectangular sweetheart table.

    We're having it at our church so they don't really have someone for that stuff. It's free so I won't complain much.

    Honestly, that space would function better with long banquet tables. I dont think 8 60" rounds with space for chairs and moving between tables is possible in that space. Not sure where the window bar is in the pic. But heres my suggestion...Reception layout help 4

    I like Nichole's suggestion. That would be less tables needed and arranged as she suggested makes good use of the space.

    Are you pretty techy with Visio or some other program that similar? I would actually go to the space and bring a tape measure to at least get an estimate. Do you know your table sizes? Because those programs let you pick and size a table to their actual dimensions. I did a similar thing for mine. I also agree that banquet tables would work better in your space. Not sure when you need it by, but I could throw something in real quick if you have the space and table dimensions.
