Seating Examples
BANQUET
We recommend this seating arrangement for wedding celebrations, larger parties, dinners, or cabaret-like theater shows. You have the option to add our movable stage to the setup.
THEATER
This arrangement is ideal for concerts, presentations or memorial services. It allows each guest to see the presenter or overhead projector. The theater setup is perfect for team events or workshops, as participants can easily move their chairs to break up into smaller groups.
RECEPTION
A stand-up social setup where drinks and appetizers are served. Receptions or networking events can benefit from this flexible format. Food can be offered on a buffet table or passed by waiters. This light setup can be converted into any other arrangement on the spot.
SCHOOLROOM OR CLASSROOM
This is the most efficient system for classes and presentations where note taking is required. In addition, we offer a movable stage, a presenting platform, as well as an overhead projector.
U-SHAPE, T-SHAPE, AND C-SHAPE
These seating examples are best for small groups of 40 or less. If you’re making a presentation, you can sit at the head of this setup to facilitate easy interaction with your group.
PRIVATE PAINTING PARTIES
We offer paint and sip classes a few times each month, as well as private paint parties. This arrangement has been proven to allow the most interaction with the instructor, while also giving each participant a personal space to paint. The instructor is located on the stage, or another presenting platform depending on the size of the group.
