Each hall is stored with its own capacity per seating layout, not a single venue-wide maximum. A ballroom that seats 950 in theatre layout seats 750 at round banquet tables — the difference matters when planning.
Where this capacity data comes from: some figures are taken from the venue's own documents, others from its published data. We do not visit venues in person.
