We are going with round! No particular reason other than we think it looks more elegant!

I prefer round, because it just feels more intimate. I hadn't considered wanting rectangle until I saw the picture in the initial post though! Those are stunning to. I guess i'll go with whatever the hall has.

Round! Everyone can see each other and talk to each other on round tables. Rectangle tables block people who are on the same side as you out of your vision and they become hard to reach.

Hi Ashley! I find that a lot of people feel the same way, and that round tables help people hold conversations with others around the table better than rectangular tables!
