“From the moment I stepped through the door I knew it was going to be a success”. Isn’t that the reaction you would want from every attendee at every one of your events? It’s all about creating that perfect first impression, whether grand and majestic or minimalist and personal, so that expectations are set where you want them to be, and guests start off the experience with a positive outlook.
Décor, terraces and staircases
You walk into the hotel lobby and are awestruck by the huge staircase that extends skywards like a giant gleaming beanstalk. Or maybe, a decking of comfortable looking sofas and chairs hits just the right spot. And it could even be that your first glimpse of the event is as you exit the elevator to a rooftop terrace and take in the incredible view of the city below. Setting the tone with an impactful entrance that suits the occasion can really help with everything that then follows.
Catching the eye sparks early intrigue
As well as the décor of the entrance, the personalized elements that make up the room can add to the initial magic. Locally sourced produce strikingly presented can immediately grab the attention while clear organization and ease of movement show a competent mind has taken the care needed during the planning phase. High-tech gadgets – especially those that will enhance the experience – also give an air of confidence to the occasion and that aura can be built on as the event develops.
What plans are you making to create the perfect first impression at your next event?
