Seating etiquette

Question
What is the proper etiquette when making seating arrangements for a banquet? 
Answer
The host should sit at the head of the table regardless of gender. The Guest of Honor (GOH) should be to the host's right.

Any cohost should sit across from the host, with the spouse of the GOH seated to the cohost's right.
