  • 2,350–2,650 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. Fits a tent’s poles and a lawn’s uneven edges most easily. 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. A garden party look; needs a level lawn or a floor. 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. Fewer tables, a smaller tent. 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 garden changes

  • Book the tent and its floor together. Grass that is fine for a ceremony is hard on heels and chair legs at dinner, and a floor keeps the dance floor level.
  • Have a rain plan with the same table count. If the tent is the rain plan, size it for dinner, not for the ceremony.
  • Light the path to the tables and the restrooms; a garden that is lovely at 5 pm is dark by 9.
  • Leave the tent sides off where it is safe, so the tables nearest the edge look out over the garden.

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 garden

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

About 2,350 to 2,650 square feet with a 21x21 dance floor, a DJ or band and two bars. Under a tent that is a 40x80 frame tent (3,200 square feet). The rental company will check it against the poles, the catering tent and the space for heaters or fans.

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 garden wedding?

Either. Rounds of eight (19 tables) are easiest under a tent, because they sit between the poles. Long tables (five rows of four eight-foot tables) suit an open garden party but need level ground or a floor. Ask the rental company which they can level on your lawn.
