    This one is hard! I prefer the rectangular table look, but the round is better for conversation. Any other day I would pick rectangular, but on my wedding day, I would probably pick round.

    I love when venues use different shapes of tables to really utilize the space in a room!

    I have to say round it's easier to get around to it's easier for the guest 2 talk among each other

    Hi Tina! I think many people agree that it's a lot easier to have a conversation at a round table!

    I prefer round tables, I don’t like the idea of rectangular just because it feels more difficult for guests to have conversations

    Good morning;

    My event planner suggested a mixture of both. She says that it will allow use to have both high and low centerpieces which allows for more guest interaction.

    I'm thinking round for the guests but the wedding party a rectangle so you know where the "important people" are
