Serpentine wedding tables: how many people fit?
Serpentine tables are a lovely option for a wedding, especially when you want a layout that breaks away from the usual round or rectangular tables.
Because they are curved, the number of seats depends on the radius and the arc of the table.
How many people fit?
As a reference, a serpentine table of roughly 3.75 m radius and 60° seats 7 people on the outer side alone, or 11 people seated on both sides.
The larger the radius, the more room there is for seats.
| Radius | Arc | Outer side only | Both sides |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.50 m | 45° | 4 | 6 |
| 2.50 m | 60° | 5 | 7 |
| 2.50 m | 90° | 7 | 10 |
| 3.75 m | 45° | 5 | 8 |
| 3.75 m | 60° | 7 | 11 |
| 3.75 m | 90° | 11 | 17 |
These figures are a reference. Real capacity varies with the width of the table and how much space each guest is given.
Both sides, or only one?
It depends on the shape the tables make.
In an open run, you can use both sides.
When the tables close into a shape, such as a circle, it usually makes more sense to seat only the outer side.
How many tables do you need?
For 100 guests, for example:
- Outer side only: about 15 segments of 3.75 m / 60°.
- Both sides: about 10 segments.
Segments are rented individually, so always round up.
