Seating Arrangements
The traditional layout for a Wedding Breakfast would have a Top Table where the Bride and Groom would be seated with the oarents of the newly wedded, best man and other close friends and relations. Suitable for parties of 30 to 150.
Chevrons are suitable for guest numbers of 20 to 90. Usually set for six or eight people, this arrangement allows for small groups to sit together and gives a slightly less formal setting.
Round tables are also available. We have a total of six 6’ tables seating up to 12, and four 5’6” tables seating up to 10. Round tables are very sociable, and your top table could also be a round table if desired.
