Measurements you might need!

We often receive questions regarding the size of items in our venue.  We thought you might find it helpful to have all of these measurements in one place! 


Guest Tables

Our guest tables are 60 inch round tables. These tables do require tablecloths and can comfortably seat 8 adult guests.  If you want your tablecloths to reach the floor, choose 120 inch round tablecloths. 

Service Tables

There are two, custom 8 foot long wooden tables and one 5 foot long rectangular tables. The two 8 foot tables are typically used for the buffet but they can also be used as a head table. The 5 foot long table is most often used as a Sweetheart table (see next question below) but can be used for any purpose you desire. These three tables are beautiful and do not need to be covered with tablecloths.

Sweet Heart Table

There's a custom wooden table that matches the two primary Buffet Service tables. The lengh of this table is 60 inches. The most common use of this table is as a Sweet Heart Table if the Custom Sweetheart Table is not being rented from the Rental Gallery.

Large Wooden Cake Table

The wooden rectangle cake table in the back right of the venue is a wonderful table to showcase your wedding cake. The measurements for this table are 84 inches long, 40 inches deep, and approximately 32 inches high. The table is well made and heavy.

Please keep in mind that this table cannot be removed from the venue. If you decide to not use it for your cake, be sure to incorporate it into your layout in another part of the Reception Hall. The most common area to use this table if it is not used for the Wedding Cake, is as a gift or dessert or appetizer tables on the wall between the main entrance and the bathrooms under the Bayou Haven wall sign.

Loft Balcony Railing

Many couples like to drape things from the upstairs loft balcony overlooking the main dance area. From lights to garland, to cloth drapery, the options are endless. If you are considering decorating the loft balcony, the length of the balcony is 30 feet. The heigh of the balcony on the loft is 43" high and the post are 47" tall.

Aisle in Chapel

One of the most common questions we get is "How long is the Aisle in the Chapel from the sliding barn doors to the front where you stand when you get married?" The lengh of the aisle is approximately 56 feet long.

Large Cross in Chapel

One of our most popular rental items is the Large Cross that is exclusive for use in our chapel. The height of the cross is 89 inches tall and the width of the cross is 48 inches wide. If you want to rent the cross for use in your ceremony, you can add it to your rental order in our Rental Gallery.
