1. Consider your venue size & layout

The first of our top tips relates to your consideration of the size of your venue and its layout. Ultimately, which wedding table hire London items you select will be dependent upon this and, of course, the number of wedding guests you are expecting.

The simple form of the white conical table, goes well with any white chair.

Modern wedding venues can be cavernous spaces and, usually, symmetrical. More traditional, older venues, however, can be slightly more non-uniform in shape, with little rooms coming off the main room, and even L-shaped event spaces. If this is the case, therefore, you might want to get a little more creative with your choice of wedding table hire London.

2. Consider your seating plan

The wedding seating plan is always one that involves lots of discussion and compromise! Who to seat with whom? Will they get on? Do they already know each other, are you throwing strangers together? Presumably you’ll be looking to hire rectangular trestle tables along with tablecloths for the top table hire – this is the straight row of tables at the front of the wedding breakfast venue, seating the happy couple in the middle, flanked either side by members of the wedding party.

Round banqueting tables at the Natural History Museum, London.

Typically, then, you’ll seat your wedding guests on round banqueting tables. These round tables for weddings are available in a range of different sizes, from 3ft all the way up to 7ft and everything in between, so this is where consideration of your space and layout comes into play. The most wedding table hire London items are 6ft round banqueting tables, with white or ivory tablecloths. Round tables are ideal for weddings, as it enables people who perhaps don’t know each other, to be facing each other to facilitate interaction and ‘chat’.

3. Remember that tables have legs as well as humans!

Yes, a bit of fun this one, but certainly something to be aware of. Wooden trestle tables and round banquet tables have metal folding legs, which do exactly that – fold out to erect, and fold to dismantle. As a result, especially with wood trestle tables – whatever the size – be aware that if you want a person seated at the end, then they won’t be able to put their legs and feet under the table!
