    Rectangular, our venue really isn't designed for anything else though.

    We chose rectangular tables because our reception room is really cozy so we needed tables that didn't take up more space than we had.

    I really like the rectangular sweetheart head table, square tables for the parents& family, then round for the guests. Breaks up the spaces

    Round table just because our centerpieces looks good in it.

    I went with round because I prefer the look and figured it’d be cheaper on centrepieces Smiley smile

    Round table. I think it is easier to have a conversation with everyone and I like the look of them better.

    Round tables work better for our venue and I like that everyone is able to see each other. Makes conversation easier!

    Agreed! I think it's easier to talk with the people at your table at round tables!

    Round. It's all our venue offers, but I prefer round; it's easier to talk to other people and move around the space

    I prefer round tables for the guests, which is what we are doing! our head table will be rectangle due to the size of our wedding party and the fact that is is up at the front.

    I prefer the round tables. It goes better with our decor, and encourages more conversation at the tables. It's also what our venue offers, so it works out perfectly!

    We went with round as we feel it fosters more conversation and is a little more casual.

    Round table for sure! I actually just went to a wedding on Saturday and the tables were rectangular and it was crowded on those tables. There was just no room for anything after putting centerpieces and décor on there. It was also hard for me to talk to people down at the end of the table.

    Our venue has square tables so that's what were going with! Generally, I like round better. It's easier to play with the number of people at each table

    I like round because then I think it's a bit easier to communicate with people around you at the table but I love the look of rectangular tables. We are having a rectangle sweetheart table and circular tables for guests
