Head Table

Head Table

The featured table where the guests of honor sit, often raised or centrally placed.

The head table is where the guests of honor sit (at a wedding, typically the couple and their wedding party), usually positioned so the rest of the room can see them. It is often longer and more decorated than the guest tables.

A common alternative is a sweetheart table for just the couple. Either way, the right furniture rentals set the look, so choose based on your room and guest count.
