Seating

When planning any event it is important to consider the appropriate amount of space required to accommodate your expected number of guests. A stand up event will definitely have different spacing requirements than a formal sit down dinner. Here are a few guidelines to assist you in calculating the ideal amount of space for your event.

Cocktail Parties

Standing 6 square feet per person
Partial Seating 8 square feet per person

Dinner Parties

Standard 8’ Banquet Tables 8-10 square feet per person
Standard 5’ Round Tables 10-12 square feet per person
Classroom Seating (rows) 10 square feet per person

Banquet Tables

  • Allow 4.5 feet between tables. Divide the room area in square feet by 8 for maximum seating.
  • For increased comfort divide the room area in square feet by 10.

Round Tables

  • Allow 5 feet between tables. Divide the room area in square feet by 10 for maximum seating.
  • For increased comfort divide the room area in square feet by 12.

Classroom & Theatre Style

  • Allow 3 feet between tables or allow 2.5 feet between rows of chairs. Divide the room area in square feet by 10 for maximum seating.
  • Formulas and dimensions listed above allow for chair aisles and passage aisles. Increase square footage per person to accommodate wide traffic aisles, columns, and unique event layout shapes.
  • Formula and example shown on following page.

Great reliable service at competitive pricing. We rented round tables, tablecloths and cruiser tables for a backyard wedding. Very happy with the service we received from Caleb. I do recommend PeakRental for your next event.

Thank you to PeekRentals! We had amazing service from our first call to determine what we needed, all the way through to setting up and taking down. They made it so easy and the tents/dance floor were a hit. I would recommend this company to everyone and they will be my go to for my next event.

Caleb and his team are super pros. They can pivot on a dime on pre event changes and the load in and installation process is seamless and efficient. Their products are in excellent condition too. Peak is a delight to work with and made our event top notch

We used Peak Rentals in June 2024 for a large event in Moncton and they were great. Caleb was always there to answer any questions and able to deliver specific requests as the event drew near. It was great to work with them!
