How Many Tables and Chairs Do I Need for 50, 75, or 100 Guests?
Figuring out seating is one of the trickiest parts of planning a party, wedding, church event, or family reunion in the Augusta area. Too few chairs and guests are left standing; too many and you're paying for space you don't use. Below is a simple, real-world guide - based on the exact table and chair packages we deliver every week around Augusta, Evans, Martinez, and Grovetown - to help you land on the right count the first time.
Quick Answer: Guest Count to Package Chart
If you just need the short version, here's what we recommend for each guest count, based on our most-booked packages:
| Guest Count | Recommended Package | What's Included | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 20 | Round Table Celebration Package | 4 x 48" round tables, 20 chairs | $135.00 |
| Up to 32 | Backyard Banquet Package | 4 x 8-ft banquet tables, 32 chairs | $135.00 |
| Up to 40 | Round Table Community Package | 8 x 48" round tables, 40 chairs | $225.00 |
| ~50 guests | All Star Party Setup | 4 x 8-ft tables + 4 x 48" round tables, 50 chairs | $280.00 |
| Up to 64 | Large Banquet Event Package | 8 x 8-ft banquet tables, 64 chairs | $225.00 |
| ~75 guests | Large Banquet + Round Table Celebration | 8 x 8-ft tables + 4 x 48" round tables, 84 chairs | $360.00 |
| 100 guests | All Star Community Event Package | 8 x 8-ft tables + 8 x 48" round tables, 100 chairs | $460.00 |
All prices above are our base rate for up to 6 hours. Need it overnight or for the whole weekend? Overnight is only 25% more, and weekend rentals (Friday drop-off to Sunday pickup) are priced at 2.5x the base rate - see each package on our Tables & Chairs page for exact weekend pricing.
Planning for 50 Guests
Our All Star Party Setup is the most popular choice for parties in the 50-guest range. It pairs four 8-ft banquet tables (great for food, gifts, and a head table) with four 48" round tables (comfortable, face-to-face guest seating), plus 50 white folding chairs - all for $280. It's a favorite for birthday parties, family reunions, and backyard celebrations because it gives you both table styles in one delivery.
Planning for 75 Guests
Seventy-five guests is right in between our standard packages, so most Augusta hosts combine two: the Large Banquet Event Package (8 banquet tables, 64 chairs, $225) plus the Round Table Celebration Package (4 round tables, 20 chairs, $135) gives you 84 chairs and plenty of table space for $360 total - comfortable breathing room even if a few extra guests show up. If budget is tighter, the Large Banquet Event Package alone comfortably seats 64 and can be dressed up with extra chairs from our inventory.
Planning for 100 Guests
For events at the 100-guest mark - think church anniversaries, school functions, or large community gatherings - our All Star Community Event Package is built for exactly this. You get 8 banquet tables and 8 round tables, so guests can choose between long shared tables or intimate round seating, plus a full 100 chairs, all for $460. It's our largest all-in-one seating package and the one we deliver most often for churches and schools across the CSRA.
Round Tables vs. Banquet Tables: Which Do You Need?
Most of our packages include a mix of both, and here's why: 8-ft banquet tables are ideal for buffet lines, gift tables, DJ or head tables, and lining a wall for maximum seating in a tight space. 48" round tables encourage conversation and are what most guests picture for a sit-down dinner, wedding reception, or shower. If your event is casual with a buffet, lean toward more banquet tables. If it's a seated dinner, lean toward rounds. When in doubt, one of our combination packages - like the All Star Party Setup or All Star Community Event Package - gives you both without guessing.
Delivery, Setup, and Bundling
Every table and chair package includes delivery and setup - our crew arrives, sets everything up where you tell us, and picks it up after your event, so there's no lifting or hauling on your end. Tables and chairs also pair perfectly with a bounce house rental or one of our party package deals for one easy delivery instead of coordinating multiple vendors. If this is your first time renting from us, our rental guide covers what to expect from booking through pickup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know my exact guest count before booking? No - it helps, but you can always round up. Most hosts choose a package that comfortably fits their expected count with a few extra seats.
Can I mix and match packages? Yes. Many of our Augusta customers combine two smaller packages (like we outlined for 75 guests above) to land on the exact seating they need.
Do you provide tablecloths? Ask our team when you book - linens and other add-ons can often be arranged alongside your table and chair rental.
How far in advance should I book? Popular weekend dates fill up, especially in spring and fall, so we recommend booking your tables and chairs as soon as your guest count is set.
