Three ways to set the tables

  • Farm tables in long rows: six long rows of three eight-foot tables. Rows parallel to the long walls follow the barn’s shape and posts. Each row is 24 feet long and seats up to 26, split as four rows of 25 and two rows of 24: 18 eight-foot tables in all.
  • Rounds of eight: 20 round tables of 8. More flexible around posts, but uses more floor in a narrow barn. On 60-inch rounds, 19 tables seat everyone (15 tables of 8 and four tables of 7), plus a spare, leaving four free seats across the room.
  • Long rows and rounds: three long rows and 10 rounds. Long tables down the middle, rounds in the side bays. Three long rows seat 78 guests nearest the front; nine round tables of 8 seat the other 70, plus a spare round.

What a barn changes

  • Measure between the posts, not just the outside walls. Rows of tables have to fit inside each bay with about 5 feet behind every chair.
  • Keep the dance floor on the concrete or boards, not on gravel or dirt, and ask where power for the band or DJ comes in.
  • Plan for the weather inside: barns are cold in spring and fall and hot in summer. Seat older guests away from the big doors.
  • Put the sweetheart table at the far end of the center aisle, so the long rows all face toward you.

150 guests fits the Celebration plan, which seats up to 200 for a one-time $99. See 150 guests seated, no account needed. Compare plans.

Questions about seating 150 guests in a barn

How many tables do I need for 150 guests at a barn wedding?

Six long rows of three eight-foot tables, with the two of you at a sweetheart table. Rounds of eight: 20 round tables of 8. That seats the other 148 guests comfortably, at about 24 inches of table edge each.

How much space do 150 wedding guests need in a barn?

About 2,500 to 2,800 square feet with a 21x21 dance floor, a band or DJ and two bars. That is a barn about 40 feet wide and 70 feet long. Posts and a hayloft stair take floor too, so walk the space with a tape measure.

What size dance floor for 150 guests?

A 21x21-foot floor (441 square feet). That allows about 3 square feet a guest, since not everyone dances at once.

Round or long tables for a barn wedding?

Long tables, usually. Barns are long and narrow, so six rows of three eight-foot farm tables (24 feet each) run with the building and fit between the posts. 19 rounds of eight also work but need more width. Many couples mix the two: long rows in the center aisle, rounds in the side bays.
