Long-Table Gala

A gala seated at long banquet tables instead of rounds: five rows running toward the stage, with the honorees on the first. It suits historic halls, museums and tented galas where rounds feel crowded, and every guest sits facing along the table toward the speeches rather than with their back to them.

What happens next: you create a PlanSeats account (no credit card), and this layout opens as your event with all 5 tables placed. Bring your whole guest list on the free plan; these tables do not count toward its limit.
