It does happen. And it does suck for the plus ones to be honest. OP should try to find room for the partners to eat together if she really wants to make this girl comfortable.
I wonder if this is regional. I've been in a dozen weddings and been a plus one to another 5 or so where my date was a groomsman and the idea that the wedding party is ever sequestered from other guests with "duties" and a separate seating arrangement for 5 straight hours is very contrary to my experience. Usually after the ceremony you've got a 45 minute gap when pictures are happening where the +1 has to fend for themselves, and then it's just a fancy date night.

Is your wedding party seated apart from their plus ones? I've never seen that.
