SPACE REQUIREMENT ESTIMATES BY CROWD SIZE CROWD SIZE, BY PERSON Here’s another quick guide to planning by expected crowd size: A banquet-style event with round tables will require about 12 square feet per person, an auditorium-style presentation with comfortable rows of chairs will require about 8 square feet per person, and so on. Theatre/auditorium style, maximum rows of chairsīy using the chart above, you can start to get a sense of what your event may need in terms of space requirements.

Let’s give an example: A crowd of 100 will require a room of 600-1,000 square feet, minimum, without factoring in the specifics of your event: Different table sizes, rows of chairs, a buffet line, dance floor, etc. Now that you know how many square feet you’ll need to provide per person, you can start to estimate your space needs. You’ll want to consider your desired crowd density in addition to room capacity when deciding on a venue - remember that more space may also mean a less full-appearing room. A more tightly-packed crowd fills closer to five square feet per person. Generally, a loose crowd - one in which each person is about an arm’s length away from their nearest neighbor - requires 10 square feet per person. Consider this your cheat sheet for calculating space to source the right venue, no matter how big or small the event.įirst things first: How many square feet does a person need? Between six to 10 feet is a safe bet. How much room does the average person need to be comfortable? What if they’re seated? Standing? A mixture of both? And how do table sizes and dance floors factor in? Calculating the space you need for your next event can be tricky.
