These ranges vary by layout. Dinner-only seating generally falls toward the lower end, while cocktail-style or ceremony layouts may reach the higher end. Buffets, bars, dance floors, stages, and additional circulation space will reduce the available guest capacity.

Event Planning Tip

Reserve early during peak season (May–October). Measure your event space, plan for food service, and don't forget lighting for evening celebrations.
