Subdivide Large Areas to Define Distinct Activities

Did you book a banquet hall or similar open layout? Don’t let the minimal floor plan dictate how your guests move throughout the space. Breaking big areas up is a great way to encourage closer interactions without feeling as crowded as you might in a smaller venue.

 

 

Consider a large wedding reception in a luxurious open space such as a hotel ballroom or outdoor garden. You will want to have defined areas for dining, socializing, dancing, and photos. Fill the space with more comfortable lounge seating and cocktail tables for guests to unwind and catch up. You can create little moments, or vignettes, with a settee and two chairs. Or, consider something as simple as poufs around a low table. Even with this additional lounge seating, you can still making room for a dinner area complete with tables, chairs, bar, buffet, and a dancefloor. Don’t forget about the photo opp! In a large space you can get really creative with a festive backdrop, which will have your guests lined up to commemorate the big day.

Physically dividing your space with plant walls, large floral centerpieces, pipe and drape, divider walls, or lounge groupings creates transitions between areas. Divide up your space and give people the option to relax and mingle as they see fit.
