Round table seating chart
Round tables are the default at most weddings because everyone can see each other and there is no head of the table to argue about. Eight guests per table is the comfortable number; ten fits on a 180 cm table; twelve is tight for a served dinner.
Start with the count that matches your room, then seat the people who must sit together first: families with children, elderly guests near the exit, and the couple's immediate family near the head table.

Questions
How many people fit on a round table?
Eight comfortably, ten on a large table. Past ten, guests start turning to talk and the service gets awkward.
How much space between tables?
Leave about 1.5 m between table edges: two chairs back to back and room to walk between them. With 150 cm tables that comes to 3 m from centre to centre.
Can I mix round and long tables?
Yes, and it often solves a difficult room. Add each type separately and drag them into place.
