Planning a 200-guest Indian wedding in San Francisco
A 200-guest Indian wedding in San Francisco is its own scale. Venue capacity, catering ratios, restroom counts and photography staffing all shift. Here is the honest playbook.
Venue sizing
For 200 guests in San Francisco, book venues with 230+ seated capacity to leave space for buffet flow, dance floor, and the inevitable extra 10%.
Vendor staffing
Catering: 1 server per 20 guests. Photography: lead + one second. Bar: 1 bartender per 75 guests.
