Impress Clients and Colleagues with a Thoughtful Layout
A corporate mixer should feel open, professional, and social — but never chaotic. The key to pulling it off? Knowing exactly how many tables and chairs to rent and how to arrange them.
Seating & Table Guide by Attendee Count
| Attendees | Cocktail Tables | Dining Tables (8-ft) | Chairs (optional) | Notes |

| 50–75 | 6–8 | 4–6 | 20–30 | Use standing tables for mingling |
| 75–100 | 8–10 | 6–8 | 30–50 | Add branded lounge area |
