EVENT PLANNING

Wedding Floor Plan with Ceremony and Reception

A wedding floor plan brings ceremony and reception decisions into one view. This layout divides the hall into a ceremony zone with an arch and guest chairs, and a reception zone with dining, dancing and food service. The most important check is the route guests take from the entrance through the ceremony and into the reception without crossing service areas. Start with the room size and doors, then add the ceremony focal point, seating, tables and open dance space. Keep bars and buffets at an edge so queues do not cut through the room. Confirm guest capacity, accessible routes and venue restrictions with the venue coordinator before finalizing the plan.
