Why You Should Know How To Lay Out Those Wooden Folding Tables
In A Certain Way
How much do you consider the absolute objective of the client when you are helping them to put together a meeting or function of some kind? Some venue providers only want to
know the basics, such as how many people there are, the general goal, whether there are speakers or whether an area is required for socialising and so on. Yet a venue planner
who is truly worth his or her salt will want to delve into the reason for holding the event in the first place. After all, a true understanding of the ultimate objective will
help to ensure that the event becomes a success.
At the other end the client will often have so many different things going on as they try and put together this event amongst so many others, that they may not automatically
communicate the "real" need for holding the event in the first place. Yet if this level of communication was a lot better between the client and the venue provider the end goal
would undoubtedly be more appropriate and fitting. The venue provider cannot read the mind of the client of course and whilst they may be quite seasoned and may be able to read
between the lines, is this enough?
For those who are questioning why they need to push for so many details, consider that at the end of the day success is often judged according to those intangible factors. Did
the participants have fun or come away with a good feeling? Clearly, this isn't always measured according to specific and tangible factors.
Remember that as the venue provider you are the expert in terms of event management. You can suggest a lot of different alternatives to the client if you make sure that you
gather the information in the first place. It's not simply a case of laying out the wooden folding tables in a certain configuration according to the style of dinner party
envisaged. If you really knew why the event was being put together in the first place you might be able to suggest a different approach or a different configuration. Those
wooden folding tables laid out in a slightly different way, or decked out in different colours could send a message to guests and attendees, making a subtle but nevertheless
important distinction.
Remember that events are all about communication and this begins most certainly in the planning stage.
