Wedding seating chart calculator

How many tables — and how much floor space — do you actually need? Most couples underestimate by 15–25% and end up with cramped aisles.

Quick answer

How many tables do you need for a wedding?

Divide your guest count by the seats per table, then add one spare table. A 120-guest wedding needs about 15 round tables of 8, or 12 tables of 10. Budget roughly 100–125 sq ft of floor space per 10 guests once you include the dance floor, aisles, and service paths.
