Wedding Chair Rental Sizes & Options
Not all chairs are created equal, and for weddings in particular, the right seating makes a big difference. At Viva Events & Decor, we carry a range of wedding chair rental sizes and styles to match your theme:
- Chiavari Chairs – The classic wedding chair. Lightweight yet sturdy, with elegant lines. Available in gold and white. Best for indoor receptions, gala dinners, and hotel weddings.
- Louis / Dior Chairs – A regal option with a padded seat and back, framed in gold with ivory cushions. Perfect for head tables, sweetheart tables, or luxury weddings.
- Folding Chairs – A practical choice for outdoor ceremonies and casual events. White resin folding chairs are both comfortable and stylish, suitable for garden weddings or backyard parties.
Each style has slightly different proportions, so it’s important to consider not just looks but also how many chairs will fit around your chosen tables.
Standard Banquet Table Dimensions
Understanding event table size guide standards helps you design the best layout for your floor plan.
- Round Tables (60″ & 72″): Most popular for weddings because they create natural conversation circles. 60″ tables are comfortable for 8 guests, while 72″ tables can seat up to 10 but require larger floor space.
- Rectangular Tables (6 ft & 8 ft): Excellent for family-style dining, corporate meetings, or buffet setups. They seat 6–10 depending on length.
- Cocktail Tables (Highboys): Ideal for standing receptions, cocktail hours, and mingling. Can be paired with bar stools if seating is preferred.
When designing your floor plan, consider:
- Guest comfort: Avoid overcrowding.
- Catering flow: Ensure servers can move smoothly.
- Dance floor & entertainment: Leave room for music and activities.
