While I cannot answer your question about the possibility, I would suggest you might consider the downsides of such a large table and think instead of a table for 8 and an adjacent table for 6 folks. In an already somewhat dining room, conversations at a table for 14 would be severely limited except between folks sitting next to each other. Even a table for 8 some folks find table-wide conversations very difficult. In a private home or private restaurant room 14 at a table might work - but I would question even that in terms of any meaningful whole group conversations.

 

The group could rotate folks between the 2 tables each night- allowing folks to talk with different others some evenings. Just a suggestion to think about.

This. And pick a fixed dining time. You are going to have an almost impossible time getting 14 at 2-4 tables right together with YTD.

I like your idea.
