banquet table

Grand dining furniture

A banquet table is a long, narrow table designed to seat many people, typically at formal dinners or large gatherings.

These tables are often rectangular and meant to be arranged end-to-end for even longer seating: The hotel set up banquet tables for the wedding reception.

The term also refers to folding tables used at events, conferences, and catered functions.
