Creating the Perfect Wedding Floor Plan

April 15, 20250

If you get your floor plan right, your big day should go off without a hitch, and everyone will be happy and relaxed.

At Clarence House, we’ve helped tons of couples nail their wedding setups. Here’s a simple guide to help you create a floor plan that works for you and your guests.

  1. First, Get Your Guest List Done

Before doing anything, settle on your guest list. Knowing how many guests are coming helps you pick the right space. We have amazing venues at Clarence House. Each one is good for different vibes and guest sizes.

Once you know the head count, you can figure out how many tables and chairs you need and how to set them up.

  1. Think About How People Will Move

How people walk around the room is really important. You want to make it easy for guests to:

  • Find their tables
  • See the bridal table clearly
  • Get to the dance floor easily
  • Hit up the bar and bathrooms
  • Chat without bumping into stuff

  1. Pick the Right Table Shape

Round tables are awesome for chatting, and feel classic and fancy. Long tables are cool for a modern or rustic event, and make it easier for families and friends to sit together.

You can do both if it fits your theme. Our team can show you how different table setups will look in the room you choose.

  1. Have a Focal Point

The head table usually grabs attention, so make sure everyone can see it. Maybe put it on a platform or in front of a cool backdrop. Consider putting the head table in front of our awesome windows or under our fancy lights.

  1. Plan Space for Key Moments

Don’t forget space for:

  • The dance floor
  • Speeches
  • The cake table
  • Gift and guest book tables
  • Entertainment spots

  1. Keep Everyone Comfy

Think about all your guests – like older family, kids, and anyone who needs help getting around. Keep paths clear, and don’t put tables too close to speakers or doors.

We’ll work with you to make sure the room is comfortable for everyone.

  1. Team Up With Professionals

The good part is – you’re not doing this solo. Book your wedding at Clarence House, and you get a whole team of experienced planners to help you out.

We’ll help you build a floor plan that fits your style, works for your guest list, and makes your wedding dreams real.
