Usually, the thought process involves whether to buy glass stemware, or save money and buy disposable plastic stemware. Renting S temware (as an option) may not even be considered. As it turns out, the cost of renting glass stemware, such as the Champagne Flute is actually LESS than buying disposable plastic (at less than 50 cents each, how can you go wrong?), and you can have it delivered right to your door! Don’t get me wrong, plastic disposable stemware can be useful on trips and... Read Full Story

Table covers make any table look better – Table Skirting brings it up a notch by dressing your table to the ”nines” and giving it more depth. While over-size table linen can be used in place of skirting on rectangular tables, it has more of a two-dimensional hard look to it. A nice “shirred” skirt hangs better with more of a three-dimensional look, the folds softening the appearance. Do not overlook linen skirting when planning your event. Using table skirting on the appropriate tables... Read Full Story

WHAT ARE FRAME TENTS ? Commercial grade Frame Tents have pipes or beams that are joined together with steel fittings to create a frame that holds up the tent top fabric. A frame tent will essentially stand up without any tie-downs or stakes – that is, until the wind blows.

Because of their weight and design, commercial grade frame tents must be installed... Read Full Story

Setting up the chairs: Typical rental chairs are 1 ½ feet wide by 1 ½ feet long. A chair row plus a walking aisle between the chair rows should be a minimum of three feet. This will allow a 1 ½ foot walking aisle. Any less than this and it becomes difficult for your guests to move in and out of the rows of seats (especially with other guests seated). Any more than this and the seating in the room will not be maximized – even a one inch increase in the walking aisle will decrease your room's... Read Full Story

Designing an Optimal Chair Layout: The most important part of the chair layout is not the chairs themselves - it is the aisles. If the aisles are not planned properly, your guests will spend a lot of time waiting to get into their seats, delaying the start of the performance. Safety is always important, so the access aisles should also allow your guests to get out of the room quickly. Row Aisles: When planning the layout for an audience, it is important to allow enough room between rows... Read Full Story

Podiums are a necessity for any meeting or presentation. Once the audience count gets above a dozen or so people, it gets very difficult to hear. To capture their undivided attention, you have to have a booming voice, or lacking that, a podium with sound system to create that effect. A podium with built in sound can help you gain instant authority. The mere act of walking up to the podium identifies you as the speaker and will let your audience know the speech is about to start. Use your... Read Full Story
