Elevating your event doesn’t need to be a headache. We have some simple tricks that will help make the biggest difference in your event and take it to the next level!
Tent sizes
Our patio pavers fit a 40x90 tent and is our most popular size on property for this reason! It covers the entire paved area and provides shade even as the sun goes down over our Tennessee hills. You can adjust your tent size down from a 40x90 and use a 40x40 to cover about half the patio. This is a wonderful option to have dinner service and your bar set up under the tent and have dancing underneath the open air!
Tent styles
While most of our client opt between a classic white tent or a clear top tent, your tent decor doesn’t have to stop there. The classic, white tent is an industry favorite and is ready for any lighting or greenery / floral installments. Consider adding a chandelier to frame your cake table or install some boho wicker baskets to frame the live band playing for your reception. Planning on having a sunset / evening reception? Look at a clear top tent instead of the standard white tent! It is an excellent option if you are planning an evening reception in the early summer, or tie-ing the knot in the fall. You can eat and dance the night away under the stars - what is better than that!
Pole draping
Pole drapery, while necessary, are often overlooked! We spoke with Alexis from EventWorks about easy ways to make those poles more glamorous. “Pole drapes make a HUGE difference and they aren’t a huge cost! They are $40 per leg so on the 40x90 tent, it would be $560.”! Think about swapping out the steel rods in the back of your photos for gauzy draped poles instead to create a stunning visual booth in person and in your photos!
Spotlights + Gobos
Spotlights add so much depth to the event and are an easy way to bring the drama to your event! Adding a couple spotlights such as, a pin spot for your entrance into your reception, a spotlight on your gorgeous dessert table / cake, or providing a highlight to the Photo Booth can go a long way for your guests!
Ready to take on the dance floor? Get everyone on the dance floor with a GOBO (a projected image of your choice, such as your new last name or initials of you and your new spouse). This is a cost effective way to add some personalized touches to your dance floor. There are so many ways to personalize your event to get your guests dancing all night long!
