What do I need to hire?

Capacity arithmetic answers whether the furniture fits. It does not tell you what to order. These counts are the same conventional sizes the plan solver draws — 60 in rounds of eight, 8 ft banquet tables, 3 ft dance-floor panels — so a room this instrument says will hold the evening is a room this list can actually be set in.

It is a planning hire list, not a vendor order. Table size, linen drop and chair style are commercial choices; this is the count, and every line says which size it assumed.

The evening

Order

15 60 in rounds, 120 chairs.

Confirm sizes with the rental house and the caterer before anything is confirmed. Vendor meals, the band and a sweetheart table are extra people, and they are not on this list until you add them.

  • 15tables

    60 in round

    120 guests ÷ 8 = 15 60 in rounds. The solver draws this size at a 10 ft pitch.

  • 120chairs

    Chairs

    One per guest. Banquet chairs and Chiavari chairs take the same count; the difference is a style, not a number.

  • 15cloths

    90 in round linen

    A 90 in cloth on a 60 in table is a standard drop. Floor-length is a different cloth.

  • 16panels

    3 × 3 ft dance-floor panel

    144 sq ft — 40% of 120 on the floor at 3 sq ft each, about 12 × 12 ft. Panels are 9 sq ft, so 16 of them. Dinner and dancing already includes this floor in the planning factor; it is still a thing you hire.

  • 1station

    8 ft bar station

    8 × 3 ft each, plus the 6 ft apron nobody seats into. The apron is floor, not furniture.

  • A planning hire list, not a vendor order. Confirm sizes with the rental house and the caterer before anything is confirmed.
  • Chairs are one per guest. Vendor meals, the band and a sweetheart table are extra people, and they are not on this list until you add them.
  • Nothing here is a fire occupancy, an accessibility certification or a promise the rental house has this in stock on your date.

Same evening, other instruments: Will my guests fit?, How much room do I need?, or ceremony and dinner in the same room.
