French term
Un diner assis & placé
French to English
Other
Food & Drink
Context (fancy event): "UN DÎNER ASSIS ET PLACÉ AUTOUR D’UNE UNIQUE TABLE" and "UN COCKTAIL DINATOIRE FESTIF ET UN DÎNER ASSIS & PLACÉ"
I'm not entirely sure about 'placé' in this context.
Does this refer to there being designated seating at the dinner?
Would "UN DÎNER ASSIS ET PLACÉ" best be translated by "a dinner with designated seating"?
Any other suggestions/clarifications?
Thanks!

Selected
a formal dinner with a seating plan
Designated seating is correct, but in UK English you would probably talk about the "seating plan".
