Three ways to set the tables

  • Long tables: three long rows of four six-foot tables. Restaurant tables pushed into rows: the most guests in the least room. Each row is 24 feet long and seats up to 26, split as one row of 25 and two rows of 24: 12 six-foot tables in all.
  • Rounds of eight: 11 round tables of 8. If the restaurant hires rounds for a buyout. On 60-inch rounds, 10 tables seat everyone (three tables of 8 and seven tables of 7), plus a spare, leaving seven free seats across the room.
  • Rounds of six: 14 round tables of 6. Close to the restaurant’s own tables, easiest for its servers. On 48-inch rounds, 13 tables seat everyone (eight tables of 6 and five tables of 5), plus a spare, leaving five free seats across the room.

What a restaurant changes

  • Ask whether you are booking a private room or the whole restaurant. Private dining rooms usually seat 20 to 60; above that it is a buyout, with its own minimum spend.
  • Use the restaurant’s floor plan: its tables, its booths and its service doors. Servers work fastest in the layout they know.
  • Dancing usually means clearing tables after dinner. Ask how long that takes and who does it before you plan a first dance.
  • At this size one long table, or a U of tables, keeps everyone in one conversation.

75 guests is more than the free plan's 50 seats. The Seating plan seats up to 100, for a one-time $49. See 75 guests seated, no account needed. Compare plans.

Questions about seating 75 guests in a restaurant

How many tables do I need for 75 guests at a restaurant wedding?

Three long rows of four six-foot tables, with the two of you at a sweetheart table. Rounds of eight: 11 round tables of 8. That seats the other 73 guests comfortably, at about 24 inches of table edge each.

How much space do 75 wedding guests need in a restaurant?

About 1,000 to 1,100 square feet for dinner and one bar, with no dance floor. Add about 225 square feet (15x15 feet) if you want one, which in most restaurants means moving tables after dinner.

Can you dance at a 75-guest restaurant wedding?

Usually only after dinner, once some tables are cleared. 75 guests need a floor of about 15x15 feet. Ask the restaurant which tables can move and how long it takes.

Round or long tables for a restaurant wedding?

Long tables, in most restaurants. Pushing the restaurant's own tables into three rows of four six-foot tables seats 75 guests in the least room. Rounds of eight (10 tables) need to be hired and take more floor, so they suit a full buyout of a large room.
