Hosting a wedding is one of the most exciting yet important tasks for anyone. Preparing guest lists and booking a venue that goes with the theme, style, and accommodation size as per your requirements is another crucial thing. But one key element that people usually do not give much attention to is the seating arrangement style. A suitable seating arrangement can ultimately elevate the look and space of the venue by allowing the guests a more convenient and comfortable environment to interact with others and enjoy the wedding ceremonies thoroughly.
Let’s have a quick look at the various seating arrangement styles that you can incorporate during the different wedding functions to make the most of the venue space.
Indian Weddings- Popular Seating Arrangement Styles
Round Table Style
The round table seating arrangement styles are the most common when it comes to Luxury Banquet Halls in Delhi. Most of the banquet halls have round table seating arrangements by default. This is because this kind of seating style allows ample room space. The number of chairs surrounding the roundtable ranges from 5-10 on average.
The guests are generally seated facing each other and they also have a clear view of the stage. The round-table seating style allows you to have a comfortable meal while conversing with your loved ones during the wedding function. It also allows the seamless serving of the food since every guest is easily reachable when seated around the circumference.
There are two different types of roundtable seating styles: Banquet style and Cabaret style
Both these styles are similar with a minor difference. In a banquet style, there's no open space and the guests might even end up seated facing opposite to the stage meanwhile in the cabaret style, there’s an open space that allows everyone to seat facing the stage.
Although this kind of seating arrangement can prove to be a bit costly if you’re low on the budget since centerpieces and linen cloth pieces are required on each table to make it look elegant.
Lounge Style
Lounge-style seating is one of the most comfortable seating arrangements. The sofas combined with tables make for a lavish seating style for your guests allowing them to take up ample amount of space to relax and interact with each other. This kind of seating arrangement is generally placed toward the corners near the walls. The lounge style adds a casual and comfy look while also creating an intimate ambiance in the wedding venue. This kind of seating arrangement is quite suitable for weddings receptions and pre-wedding parties.
Theatre Style
Another simple and common seating arrangement style that’s found at almost every Banquet Hall at GT Karnal Road is the theatre-style seating arrangement. This style is the most suitable when you’re low on space but the number of guests is more. Also, it enables the guests to have a clear view of the stage focusing completely on the bride and the groom. Although this kind of seating style limits the interaction between the guests since the chairs are arranged in horizontal and vertical rows not allowing guests to face one another. It also looks less comfortable while having food and drinks as the tables are missing.
But if you want to make the most of the space, the theatre style is the ideal seating style you should go for. You can align the chairs in horizontal lines keeping minimal space between them to allow more numbers of chairs to fit the space. This way you can get maximum of your guests seated even if the space is less.
Divan Style
Divan style is mostly found in wedding functions like Haldi or Mehndi. This seating style is low-seated and paired with comfy cushions and bolsters to create a home-style relaxing environment to enjoy the functions. Since functions like Mehndi and Haldi require longer hours of being seated in a single place, the Divan style, also known as the Takhat style, makes for an ideal seating arrangement.
Square/ Rectangular Tables with chairs
Just like the round-table seating arrangement, square or rectangular style seating arrangement includes a square/ rectangular table surrounded by chairs. This kind of seating arrangement allows the guests to face each other and have an interactive environment while having food and drinks. Although, it is not a very common style in Indian weddings since it limits the view of guests who are seated facing opposite to the stage.
Cocktail Style
Cocktail style arrangement is the best option to allow the guests to roam freely in an open space while enjoying their drinks and food. In this style, When you are low on space and budget, this arrangement style will be the most suitable to give your guests an enchanting as well as interactive environment at the wedding
Mix ‘n’ Match
While all the earlier-mentioned seating arrangements are quite popular and suitable for most wedding functions, you can also go for a mix and match of different seating styles at a time. If you’re hosting a wedding in a luxury banquet in Delhi, the best way to enhance the space and beauty of the venue is to use multiple arrangements and allow the guests to enjoy the event thoroughly in a convenient environment.
For example, you can use a combination of lounge-style seating arrangement and theatre style or might opt for a combination of round table style and cocktail style. This will give your guests options to choose as per their comfort and also allow enough room space to move freely and interact with each other.
Conclusion
A comfortable and suitable seating arrangement at the pre-wedding functions and the weddings itself is especially significant to make the event more enjoyable and seamless. Depending upon the number of guests being invited, the amount of space the venue offers, the type of wedding function, and a few other factors, you can pick the right seating arrangement style for your wedding.
