A "head table" is a designated area at an event, such as a banquet or wedding, where important guests or speakers are seated. This table is typically positioned at the front of the room, allowing for easy visibility and access. It often features a more elaborate setup, including special decorations and place settings, to highlight the significance of those seated there. The head table usually includes key figures like the bride and groom at a wedding or the guest of honor at a formal dinner. This arrangement helps to honor these individuals and facilitates their participation in speeches or presentations during the event.
