Our tips for arranging furniture in your reception area

There table layout depends on 3 main parameters:

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

Consider the accessibility and movement of your guests. The secret to a reception Success often lies in the details of the layout! Don't forget to consider the ease of movement between the tables for the catering service teams (1.50 m between each table).

For a wedding or corporate seminar For a festive occasion, remember to leave enough space for the DJ, the dance floor (1 square meter per 3 people), presentations/speeches, etc. Position the dance floor so that it is easily accessible to all your guests. If you have tables in several rooms, it is best to place the dance floor at the intersection of all the rooms.

Also, be careful not to place tables too close to kitchens, toilets, or emergency exits.

To do a seating plan is the first step to better visualizing the spaces you have available. Our clients regularly ask us for guidance in this. stage of their preparations. (Link to next article by HT)
