My reception is a Sunday brunch with about 25-30 guests split between 5 tables (which includes the head table). I will assign seats with place cards but is a seating plan necessary for such a small group?

Yes it is necessary so everyone knows where to go without too much confusion.
You want people to find their seats smoothly... you could do something cute like have the tables named.
A seating plan is not really necessary for a wedding of that size, but we can supply you with a seating plan if you like this way you are able to have your guest seated where you like you can see how the room looks set out.

no, it should be easy for people to find the correct table.
A seating plan is always a good idea no matter how small the group is. Seating plans are beneficial belcause:
- They allow staff to know where particular guests are sitting, eg, guests with dietary requirements, kids, etc
- It makes it much easier for your guests to find their seats
- It makes your room set up more efficient

Brunch Weddings are really lovely :)
In our experience, most of the time our clients did not require a seating plan, plus you will be having place cards this should enough guidance.
For most of the Brunch Weddings we have hosted, for a group of 20 to 30 guest seating plans are not really necesary to have, the group is more intimate and they usually all know each other already.
Hope this helps!
