You will want to play with the lay out a little. I definitely would not go larger than 10 to a table. 6-8 would be the ideal so that the guests do not fell like they are lost in the crowd.
A reception that large will also have some people feeling a little slighted if they are too far from the couple or if you use the traditional numbering of the tables. Rather than cousin "Jeff" having hard feelings because he was put at table 29, name the tables with something that ties into the theme. For a beach themed wedding, name the tables famous beaches of the world. If nothing else, come up with street names, or city names.
The reception location should have someone as an on site coordinator to help plan the lay out because they will need to set it up. Everyone should be able to see the entertainment and the bride and groom if it is at all possible. Having the dance floor near the center of the room and placing the tables surrounding it on 3 to 3 1/2 of the sides works well.

Table Layout For Wedding Reception

apart from the obvious - a large one!
Depens on what kind of reception you are having - a finger buffet help yourself type of thing - you only need a few tables dotted about (and chairs of course). And perhaps one main table for the special guests including the bride and groom and bridesmaids. If you are having a sit down job then an E shape is good, with or without the centre - . That way you can have the top table and everyone will be able to see you when the speeches are made, also it is more friendly.

Well first you'd need a big budget, that's a large wedding you have there. But to be efficient (I'm assuming this is an indoor affair) you should use long rectangular tables (and rounds for the family tables). If the room isn't large enough for rectangles, then you'll have to seat them at rounds - seat them 10 to a table but that's 30 rounds. Wow, that's a lot. Good luck.

If you want a more personal, intimate environment, have your tables with less ppl at them. Or, I saw on one show where they based all the tables around a bar in the center, if you could do an accomodation of that sort. As far as how many tables, w/ 4 ppl per table- 75 tables, or for 5 per table- 60 tables.

It is not only overkill, it makes no sense. Yours is a standing, mingling, and sitting for a short period reception which will not last longer than 1 1/2 hours. People do not need a place to park themselves for the evening, and if you did they would be expecting a lot more than cake and wine. If I were you, I would provide seating of course but not assigned seating. And I would set this in mid-afternoon. 7pm is dinnertime dear.

I would suggest 15 circular tables of twenty - or other a top table of 20 and 20 tables of 14.

i think large long tables is great for thif many guests. Make serving easier for the witstaff and its easier for the bride and groom to go down the line of table and greet and mingle with guests rather then going from table to table. It also may make it seem more initmate when you have so many quests.

It depends on your venue. What size is the room? What size are the tables? Are they round or square? How many does each table hold?

Leave that up to the place that is catering it. If doing it yourself, 30 tables of 10 should do it.
