Seating Style Types
Seated Event: Guests are seated at dining tables, typically round table of (8), with seating provided for the full guest count. This arrangement may be used for plated meals or buffets. Capacity varies depending on table size, food-service stations and whether space is needed for a dance floor, stage, bars or audio-visual equipment.
Crescent Rounds: Guests are seated at round tables with chairs arranged around one side, leaving the side facing the speaker or presentation area open. This layout allows guests to enjoy comfortable table seating and conversation while maintaining a clear view of the presentation, making it ideal for meetings, seminars, and luncheons.
Theater Style: Chairs are arranged in rows facing a speaker, stage, presentation area or screen. This setup is ideal for ceremonies, presentations, seminars and large meetings that do not require tables.
Classroom Style: Tables and chairs are arranged in rows facing the front of the room. This layout gives guests a surface for laptops, notebooks and meeting materials, making it well suited for conferences, training sessions and educational presentations.
Boardroom Style: Guests are seated around one large conference table. This arrangement creates a collaborative setting for executive meetings, planning sessions and smaller group discussions.
Hollow-Square or Conference Style: Tables are arranged in a square or rectangular formation with an open center. Guests are seated around the outside, allowing everyone to face one another for group discussions and collaborative meetings.
U-Shape Style: Tables are arranged in the shape of a “U,” with seating around the outside. The open end provides a clear presentation area while allowing guests to interact with both the presenter and one another.
Reception Style: Reception-style events are designed to encourage mingling and typically include a combination of cocktail tables, limited dining tables and lounge or casual seating. Seating is not generally provided for the full guest count. This setup is ideal for cocktail receptions, networking events and social gatherings where guests will move throughout the space.
Reception Style with Seating and a Dance Floor: This layout incorporates guest seating and a designated dance floor while maintaining the open, social atmosphere of a reception. Seating capacity is lower than a traditional standing reception because more floor space is dedicated to dancing and entertainment.
