Cocktail reception layout for 250 guests

Highboys, a bar and open floor for 250 standing guests — a to-scale cocktail reception plan.

The short answer

250 standing guests take about 58 cocktail tables and open floor around them.

The layout needs about 2,800 sq ft of floor — roughly 11 sq ft per guest for the seating, plus a bar — with 3 ft aisles.

Below it is drawn in a 70 × 55 ft room (3,850 sq ft); open it and set your own room's size.
