60 inch round table: Seating & Floor Space
The standard banquet table. Rounds of 8 are comfortable; 10 is the tight maximum. Here is what it seats, how much floor it takes and how many you need for your guest count.
How many tables do you need?
| Guests | Tables at 8 each | Tables at 10 each |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | 3 | 2 |
| 50 | 7 | 5 |
| 100 | 13 | 10 |
| 150 | 19 | 15 |
Space and layout tips
Plan about 10 to 11 ft square with chairs. Leave service aisles of about 4 to 5 feet between tables so servers and guests can pass behind seated chairs.
The comfortable number is better than the maximum for plated service. Squeezing 10 guests around a table limits elbow room and slows service.
