Town & Country created a great blog with 25 amazing ideas to spruce up a gathering table setting. A few suggestions made stood out for us. Here are a few of our favorites. Add nature with a mossy runner. The added greenery makes the holiday reds, silvers, and blues pop even more! Add festive napkin rings to dress up the table and create a more formal look. Consider a citrus garland. The article suggests eucalyptus and citrus as a combination, but even a traditional bough of evergreen can add holiday cheer and an amazing fragrance to the room. Read the other 23 suggestions in Town and Country Magazine. https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/arts-and-culture/news/g958/christmas-table-settings/   [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″][et_pb_cta _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” title=”See our Holiday-in-a-Box Program” button_text=”View Now” button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wb3N0Iiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjU0MTk1In19@” _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][/et_pb_cta][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

Is Your Stage Staged For Pictures?

Photographs

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. When you are planning an event, do you add scrutiny of design to include pictures? By considering the backgrounds within your event, you will give your guests an opportunity to share images designed by you. Be sure to stage your event venue to tell the story you want told! For new ideas and areas that require specific staging attention, we found this great blog at  LCP Media, a group that specializes in virtual tours and photography. https://www.lcpmedia.com/blog/staging-a-photo-shoot

Fall Gathering Theme Ideas

The fall season gives great opportunities to throw events with a theme! There are so many to choose from! From this blog from Do Good Events, we really love the idea for a campfire theme. Some of the best lifetime memories for us have come from around a campfire. For large events, you can out a spin on this theme by adding multiple fire pits (even if they are just simulated) to create small group think tanks for brain storming productivity ideas for corporate events for example. Need other ideas? Contact us at Wright Group Event Services. Themes: Preparing for your Fall Events

Are You Insuring Your Event?

Anytime you are considering an outdoor event venue, budgeting for insurance can help reduce any losses that may come from cancellations. You may be amazed at what you can insure for, like rain damage, liquor sales, and workers compensation. We found a great list on Vortex Insurance to share to get you thinking about ways to protect your assets during a grand gala or outdoor festival. FYI, this is not a group we are affiliated with. If you need a good recommendation, let us know and we can talk to our partners. Your Fall Festival Planning Checklist from Vortex

Event Tent Rental Planning – What You Need To Know

Marquee Tent

Planning an outdoor event usually requires planning for tent rentals to house guests, protect from the weather, and create the event footprint. But just renting a set of tents is not enough. Careful planning in this area requires consideration in a number of areas. Below are five main questions to ask yourself when approaching a tent rental for a large event. What is the quality of tent needed? Wright Group Event Services recommends that you ask about the condition, regular inspections and cleanings of rental tents in circulation to get the highest quality tents available. What size of tent is needed? Most tent rental companies have a wide array of inventory in varying sizes and shapes. Do you need to house all guests under a single tent? Or will the event require a series of smaller tents to showcase entertainment, food, and other event elements? Have a good understanding of the guest count and uses for the tents before approaching a tent rental center to get the right sized tent(s) for your event. Is a permit needed for the tent? Asking the event center or community space coordinators about any permitting needs is essential, including if tents are even allowed. What is your floor plan? Understand how traffic will flow, where guests may sit or rest, how crowds may congregate, where entertainment will live, how food may be distributed are all great details to consider when developing a floor plan. Then tents can be added to create exclusive or intimate spaces and create other designations for guests to navigate all areas of the event successfully. How will the tent withstand the elements? While no one hopes for increment weather to happen during an event, there is always a risk when holding an outdoor gathering. Asking questions about wind resistance and water proofing for any tent being rented is essential. Not every tent is made to withstand the elements. If you are planning a large-scale event and considering tent rentals to create your space, talk to us at Wright Group Event Services. We have been renting tents for over 30 years and have all of the answers ready for you. You just need to ask the questions.
