Reception — Bayview Ballroom
160 at dinner against an 18′ bowed window wall — one extra row in the middle, none at the ends.
The Carrick Hotel & Convention Center · Bayview Ballroom · 120′ × 70′, 20′ ceiling
Why it is laid out this way
- The south wall is a 120′ chord with an 18′ sagitta. The curve buys a whole row of rounds in the middle of the room and nothing at the sides, which is why the south row is four tables and not six.
- The couple sit in the apex of the bow — the only seats in the room with the entire view behind them.
- Drawn as a rectangle this room would put three tables in the glass and lose four more; the traced curve is the plan.
