Reception Etiquette & Banquet Captain Checklist

  • Equal VIP Sightlines (30' × 35' Room): Seat both households at equidistant VIP tables (Table 2 & Table 4) flanking the Sweetheart Table.
  • Acoustic & Dance-Floor Buffer: Place the 18' × 18' (324 sq ft) dance floor between separated family groups for a natural 28-foot sightline barrier.
  • Scoped Family Table Share Link: Send each parent a locked link to arrange Tables 1-3 while Tables 4+ remain read-only.
  • Couple & Plus-One Integrity: Lock partner pairs so auto-rebalancing never splits spouses or bridal party dates across tables.
VIP SIGHTLINE & CONFLICT SEPARATION MATRIX (65 GUESTS · 30' × 35')
• Table 1 (Center North): Sweetheart Table (2 Seats)
• Table 2 (West VIP Wing): Bride's Mother & Stepfather · 18ft to Head Table · Quiet Zone
• Table 4 (East VIP Wing): Bride's Father & Partner   · 18ft to Head Table · 34ft Buffer from Table 2
