Do you need event gear?

Hand-picked for this exact result — no generic lists.

Plan it like an event pro.

Each table needs ~1.5 m of chair clearance on every side — that's what the footprint includes.

  1. Allow 1.5 m around each table.

    Chairs pull out; servers pass. This is where tight plans fail.

  2. Subtract the extras.

    Dance floor, buffet, bar, cake table and DJ booth all come out of the room first.

  3. Mind the shape.

    Long narrow rooms fit fewer rounds than square ones of the same area.

  4. Confirm with the venue.

    Posted capacities and fire codes always win.

Worked example

One concrete case, with the assumptions spelled out.

9 × 6 m room, 60″ rounds

54 m² at ~9.1 m² per table gives 5 tables — about 40 seated guests.

ƒ(x)tables = floor(room area ÷ (table diameter + 1.5 m)²)
