How much space should there be between wedding tables?

The space between wedding tables should be at least 1 metre, measured from the edge of one table to the edge of the next. This allows guests to push their chairs back without hitting the table behind them, and it gives staff room to serve food and clear plates. If you have a dance floor, leave a wider gap, around 1.5 to 2 metres, so people can move freely.

Your venue will have a floor plan and may have specific requirements for fire exits and accessibility. Always ask the venue coordinator for their recommended spacing. They know the room's dimensions and can help you arrange tables so no one feels cramped.

Also think about the flow of the room. Leave clear paths to the bar, toilets, and exits. If you have a buffet, make sure there is enough space for a queue. A little extra space is always better than a crowded room.
