Question re table layout - tables with blocked view of top table

We've got the same problem at our venue. No matter what your room is like, if you are having round tables there are always going to be some people who can not see you during the meal and as you say, they can turn around, move during the speeches.

I hope this doesn't get taken the wrong way but are you having children at the wedding? If so, how about seating them in the restricted view seats, doubt they would be too interested in the speeches anyway.

Ahh yes what a good idea. We will have children at the wedding, and we have a couple that have three kids so we could probably sit them there. Yes, we will have round tables, so I did point out to my mum and dad that even on those tables with no wall in the way, there would still be guests with their back to the top table.

I wouldn't think it to be that important, but the children suggestion could work well.

Hi

I had a similar problem in the original room we booked and soon changed, the pillers would block the guests views

We opted to have it in the room were having the eve reception instead so that cured that problem

but even so, we have 10 children coming, so we decided on having 1 table just for them to have, this table will be right down the bottom as Im sure they wont be interested in speeches and such, just the childrens menu they are having, I bet the adults might moan they are not getting their menu lol xx
