Now that I have officially chosen the venue for my wedding, which you can read about here, I thought it would be great to do a feature showcasing some great tips on how to choose your wedding venue layout design. From being a planner at All in a Soiree Events, Rustic Folk Weddings Florida wedding and event design company, it is imperative not only to visualize a reception space but to also imagine the best layout option for the event itself. When choosing your wedding reception design you have a variety of options in how you design your layout and the type of tables you choose. Two wedding reception layout design options you have are either utilizing rounds or elongated tables. The following information below is going to give you information on each table design and the benefits of using one versus the other.

1.Rounds

• Each table can typically can seat up to 8 to 10 guests (Note: The more guests to a table the less space they have to move around comfortably)
• Allows individuals to freely move around and get to their seats with ease
• Encourages conversation

• Works great for a large number of guests
• Tables can easily be hooked together to have all guest sitting together
• Works great for buffet style events

• May just be the best of both worlds
• Wedding Party can be seated along one table so other guests are able to freely communicate with the wedding party in addition to the bride and groom
• Creates a unique wedding layout design
