It comfortably accommodates up to 30 tables, allowing guests to enjoy a sumptuous banquet and an unobstructed view of the raised stage, which measures 24 ft in length, 12 ft in width, and 2 ft in height.

For a wedding celebration with a long centre aisle, the comfortable capacity is 23 tables or approximately 230 guests.
