How many fit at an 8’ Table?

I used to do a banquets and I believe we did 6 people at an 8 foot table

We are doing 8 at an 8ft table

The max is 10 people per table, I'm planning to do this or 8 people per table if I can!

We are putting 2 of them together end to end so maybe I can fit 16. So I’ll need maybe around 10 or 11 tables?

I believe 8 people per table gives everyone plenty of room, but you could fit up to 10 and have it still work. This is including the heads of the table though.

Putting tables together, you loose the heads of the table, so it would be more like 6 to 8 guests per table.

It will depend on the chair that you rent, garden chairs take up more space than chiavari chairs. The rental company will be able to make the best recommendation for the table & chair combo. Unless you are purchasing them, then just measure per chair vs table.
