1. Classic Rectangular Tables – Perfect for Efficient Space Planning
One of the keys to great event design is making the most out of the available space. Our Classic Rectangular Tables do just that! These tables can be connected together, and even feature a ‘joiner’ seat where two tables meet. This allows your students to experiment with layouts that maximize seating and space efficiency—skills that will come in handy for large weddings, conferences, or banquets.
Students can easily visualize how to set up rows or clusters of tables, and learn how to arrange seating for both comfort and accessibility. Perfect for group projects or collaborative activities!
2. Classic Circular Tables – Add Style and Functionality
While rectangular tables are efficient, Classic Circular Tables offer a whole new level of creativity! Arrange them in diagonal or off-center rows to increase seating capacity and create unique event layouts. These tables allow for more tables in a given area, giving students the chance to explore the benefits of circular seating in event design.
Whether it’s for a wedding reception or a conference, your students will learn how to create dynamic, functional setups that maximize flow and interaction.
3. Head Table – For the VIPs
Every great event has a head table! Whether it’s for the newlyweds, the guest speakers, or special honorees, the Head Table serves as the focal point of many events. Teaching your students how to orient a head table, and how to plan seating around it, will help them understand the importance of focus and direction in event design.
It’s the perfect opportunity to discuss seating arrangements, traffic flow, and how to design an area that commands attention while still creating an inviting atmosphere.
4. Buffet Tables or Stations – A Fun and Interactive Learning Tool
Buffet-style dining isn’t just for dinner parties—it’s a great event layout for any occasion where guests help themselves. By incorporating Buffet Tables or Stations into your lessons, you’ll show your students how to set up food stations that maximize space and accessibility.
With stations that guests can walk up to or be served at by staff, students will learn how to organize catering services and food stations for large groups. They’ll also understand how to balance a serving area with seating, allowing for better crowd management and smoother event flow.
5. Dance Floor – Adding Movement to the Mix
What’s an event without a dance floor? Whether it’s for a wedding, school dance, or conference, Dance Floors are a key feature of many events. Teach your students how to size a dance floor based on the number of attendees and how to place it strategically in a space for maximum enjoyment.
Dance floors also introduce an important concept in event planning—balancing different areas of an event to create a cohesive flow. Students will learn how to incorporate both active and passive areas into their floor plans.
6. Event Setup Essentials – Complete Your Floor Plan
Lastly, don’t forget the essential elements that every event needs! Our products also include a head table for 4, cake tables, gifts tables, and DJ tables—all important features for wedding and celebration floor plans. These additional elements will help students understand how to plan for every aspect of an event, from the seating to the special touches that make the event unique.
Bring It All Together: Create the Ultimate Event Floor Plan!
With these tools, your students will be able to design a complete event floor plan for 64 guests, with seating, a head table, cake, gifts, and a dance floor. Whether it’s a wedding, party, or corporate event, they’ll get to experience the full scope of what goes into creating an incredible event layout.
It’s an exciting, hands-on way to teach about spatial design, guest flow, and how to think creatively within a given space. Plus, these tools can be used for group projects, individual assignments, or even as part of a larger class activity.
