The reception layout most venues set by default: a sweetheart or head table facing the room and nine round tables of eight arranged in three rows. It keeps every table within sight of the couple, leaves a clear aisle for service, and scales down by simply removing a row.
What happens next: you create a PlanSeats account (no credit card), and this layout opens as your event with all 10 tables placed. The free plan seats up to 20 guests; upgrade when you are ready to seat everyone.
