Divide your guest count by seats per table. For 120 guests with 60-inch round tables (8 seats each): 120 / 8 = 15 guest tables plus 1 head table = 16 total. Add extra tables for gifts, dessert, or DJ.
| Table Type | Seats | Space Needed | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60" Round | 8 | 30 sqft each | Most receptions |
| 72" Round | 10 | 40 sqft each | Spacious seating |
| 8ft Rectangle | 8 | 32 sqft each | Family-style dining |
| Banquet Row | 12 | 48 sqft each | Rustic/farmhouse |
Plan for 12–15 square feet per guest for seated dinner, 8–10 for cocktail-style. A 150-guest seated dinner needs 1,800–2,250 square feet for tables alone, plus space for dance floor, bar, and movement.
A 60-inch round table comfortably seats 8 adults. You can squeeze 10 but place settings overlap. A 72-inch round comfortably seats 10. Allow 24 inches of table edge per person for comfortable dining.
The head table should be long enough for the wedding party. Plan 24–30 inches per person on one side. A party of 8 needs at least a 16-foot table (two 8-foot tables end-to-end).
