Our tips for arranging furniture in your reception area

Table layout depends on 3 main parameters:

• the shape of the reception area,
• the shape of the tables,
• the theme of your reception.

Think about accessibility and getting your guests around. The secret of a success reception often lies in the details of the layout! Don't forget to allow the caterer's service team to pass freely between tables (1.50 m between each table).

For a festive wedding or corporate seminar, don't forget to leave enough space for the DJ, dance floor (1m2 for 3), presentations/speeches, etc. Position the dance floor so that it's accessible to all your guests. If you have tables in several rooms, it's best to place the dance floor at the intersection of all the rooms.

Also remember not to position tables too close to kitchens, toilets or emergency exits.

Drawing up a floor plan is the first step in visualizing the space you have available. Our customers regularly ask us to guide them through this process. stage of their preparations. (Link to next article by HT)

Advantages and disadvantages of rectangular tables

Rectangular tables can maximize the use of space. Especially as their layout is more flexible: long banquet spirit rows, herringbone, U-shaped, comb-shaped, etc.

On the other hand, it can be more difficult to converse with people sitting at the other end of the table.

• Rustic table - L.213 x W.102 x H.76 cm - For 6 to 10 people

Advantages and disadvantages of round tables for your reception

Round tables are perfect for large receptions and large spaces. Whether round or rectangular, or more rarely square, not all tables take up the same amount of space. The overall layout can take up more space than with other types of table. Measure your room carefully!

Round tables encourages conversation in groups. This arrangement is therefore convivial and is very common at particularly weddings, for example. The head table can be replaced by a rectangular or oval table.

Round tables allow a certain flexibility in the number of guests, especially if you have last-minute changes.
