Wahiawā Team Banquet: Park Hall Layouts, Buffet Timing, and Awards Flow

End-of-season banquets in Wahiawā need smooth buffet lines, a clear awards program, and seating that lets families see the stage. Here’s a plan for counts, three floor designs, and a timeline that respects weeknight schedules. We’ll reference A & B Party Rentals for banquet/cocktail tables, matched chair packages, full-drop linens, skirting, chafers, dispensers, and cord-safe lighting.

Quantities (Seats for 90%—Families Sit)

• Tables: Banquet rows with a 4’ center aisle; head table up front.
• Chairs: One per seat + 10% buffer for late arrivals.
• Linens: Full drops; skirting for buffet and awards table.
• Service: Two buffet lines per 60–70 guests; beverage station opposite side.

Floor Plans (80, 120, 160 Guests)

Layout A: 80 Guests

• Four banquet rows, 4’ aisle; buffet along side wall; awards table near stage.
• Photo backdrop by entrance; lei/gift table close to exit.

Layout B: 120 Guests

• Banquet pods + 3 cocktail rounds to break lines; dual drink points.
• Mic corner with cord cover; projector table in back.

Layout C: 160 Guests

• Grid seating with clear fire lanes; head table center; buffet islands one-way.
• Uplights on awards backdrop; string lights soften overhead glare.

Awards Flow (40 Minutes Total)

1. Welcome (3 min) → Dinner release by rows (10 min).
2. Coach remarks + highlight reel (12–15 min).
3. Player awards (10–12 min) with photo lane and lei table.
