When planning a marquee event, it’s essential to allocate enough space for furniture and features. Here’s a basic guide using 3x3m squares:
- Round Tables:
- For an 5ft round table seating 8-10 guests or a 5ft6in round table for 9-11 guests, allocate one 3x3m square.
- Buffet Tables:
- For a set of buffet tables (usually three 6ft trestles), allow 3x6m (equivalent to two 3x3m squares).
- Top Table:
- For a traditional long table or an oval top table, allocate 3x6m.
- DJ Area:
- Allocate 3x3m.
- Band:
- At least 3x6m, depending on the number of band members.
- Bar:
- Allocate 3x3m, often with an additional 3x3m for seating or sofas.
- Dance Floors:
- Dance floors vary in size based on the event and guest count, so these are more flexible. Consider the space needed based on your event specifics.
Additionally, it’s wise to leave some clear space at the entrance and in front of any catering areas, if possible.
