The venue often dictates format. When you choose, round vs rectangular changes table count, server paths, and how groups talk to each other.
Round tables
•
8–10 guests ideal, 12 possible but conversations split
•
Everyone at the table sees each other
•
Uses more floor space
•
Seating: one group = one table
Rectangular tables
•
Banquet: 2 long tables face to face for intimate weddings
•
More seats per m² in narrow rooms
•
Ends can feel isolated: seat connectors there
•
Seating: split one group across 2 adjacent tables if needed
Fiancé supports both in the seating chart. Test table count before ordering rentals.
