PLANNING GUIDE
Consider the following
- Event time and date
- Event location: determine if delivery is required, note delivery location
- A tent might be necessary, and there are some considerations: amount of people/tent size; a tent permit might be needed depending on the size; whether or not you want leg and pole drapes, and a liner
- A few table considerations: number of people determines number of tables; round or banquet or farm; if the tables include food service, the caterer will give the best gauge as to how many tables are needed
- As for chairs and benches: evaluate pricing and calculation of how much seating will be needed
- If you’d like a dance floor: decide on a pattern and use the dance floor guide to determine needs
- Table linens: linen sizes, quantities and colors; decide on napkins; and chair covers
- As for dining, decisions include; china: types of pieces and colors, flatware: types of styles and pieces needed, glassware: types of pieces needed and whether or not they are needed at a bar setting
- If you intend to have a bar: determine if you’ll need cocktail tables and the linen colors, and perhaps sashes around table bases
- Considerations regarding lighting: the feel/vibe you are seeking to determine the type of lighting option to use and how you’d like the lighting to look
