At a glance

  • 20 round tables of 8 (60-inch), spare included
  • 2,550–2,900 square feet in all
  • 21x21 foot dance floor
  • $99 Celebration plan, one-time

Three ways to set the tables

  • Rounds of eight: 20 round tables of 8. Small rounds are steadier on sand and easier to move if the wind turns. 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 tables: five long rows of four eight-foot tables. One or more rows facing the water, best on a deck or boardwalk. Each row is 32 feet long and seats up to 34, split as three rows of 30 and two rows of 29: 20 eight-foot tables in all.
  • Rounds of ten: 16 round tables of 10. Only on a deck or platform, where big tables stay level. On 72-inch rounds, 15 tables seat everyone (13 tables of 10 and two tables of 9), plus a spare, leaving two free seats across the room.

What a beach changes

  • Ask for a dance floor laid on the sand, or a deck. Chairs sink and nobody dances on loose sand.
  • Check the tide times and the permit. Many public beaches limit how many guests a permit covers, and the high-tide line decides where the tables can go.
  • Weigh down centerpieces, place cards and the seating sign. A QR seat finder on guests’ phones does not blow away.
  • Set the tables so the sunset is behind you, not in your guests’ eyes, and plan the toasts for before it.

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 beach

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

20 round tables of 8, with the two of you at a sweetheart table. Long tables: five long rows of four eight-foot tables. 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 beach?

About 2,550 to 2,900 square feet with a 21x21 dance floor and two bars, a little more than indoors because sand needs wider aisles. If the beach requires a tent, that is a 40x80 frame tent.

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 beach wedding?

Small rounds on sand, long tables on a deck. 19 rounds of eight stay steadier on sand than large rounds, and are quick to move if the wind changes. A row of long tables facing the water (five rows of four eight-foot tables) looks best but needs a level surface.
