Planning a 500-guest Indian wedding in Los Angeles
A 500-guest Indian wedding in Los Angeles is its own scale. Venue capacity, catering ratios, restroom counts and photography staffing all shift. Here is the honest playbook.
Venue sizing
For 500 guests in Los Angeles, book venues with 575+ seated capacity to leave space for buffet flow, dance floor, and the inevitable extra 10%.
Vendor staffing
Catering: 1 server per 15 guests. Photography: lead + 2 second shooters. Bar: 1 bartender per 75 guests.
