Popular styles for Dubai events

How many cocktail tables do I need?

Use simple rules to estimate required numbers fast.

Rules of thumb

For standing networking: plan 1 table per 8–12 guests. For cocktail hour with canapés: plan 1 table per 4–6 guests. For a 100-person reception, that’s roughly 8–25 tables depending on service style.

Spacing and layout tips

Leave at least 1.2–1.5 meters between tables for movement. Cluster 2–3 tables near the bar and keep clear paths to exits. Add stools where you expect longer conversations.

Drink table setup and party inspiration

Simple setups look professional and scale well across venues.

Indoor setup

Place tables near entry points and beverage stations. Add a small tray for napkins, a vase or candle, and a water carafe. Use cloth covers for a polished look.

Outdoor and villa setups

For poolside or garden events, use LED or weatherproof tables. Anchor decor with small weights and keep service close by. Rent matching bar stools and lounge pieces to create social zones.

Cocktail tables vs other tables

Choose the right table type for the function you plan.

A cocktail table is tall and made for standing guests. A coffee table is low and intended for seated lounge areas. Dining tables support full meals and seating. Side, console, and bedside tables serve decorative or functional uses. Use cocktail tables for mingling and networking, and dining tables for seated service.

What to ask before you rent

Ask specific questions to avoid hidden costs.

• Does the rate include delivery and pickup across Dubai?

• Are setup and covers included, or are they extra?

• What are damage or cleaning policies?
