Heading Test
When you are hosting an event you want your guests to have a good time and remember it for all the right reasons. After years of working in the events industry Allens Hire have learnt some tricks of the trade that will help you put the wow factor into your events.
Make sure the opening drink is one to remember
The first drink sets the tone of the party. If you start with a cocktail make sure it works with your theme or concept. For example, if you have a prohibition theme, begin with an era-appropriate cocktail such as French 75 (champagne, gin, lemon juice and sugar) or a whiskey sour (Bourbon, lemon juice, sugar and a dash of egg white). Attention to detail is important, make sure it’s served in the right glass – the glamour could be lost if French 75 was served in a long glass rather than a champagne flute.
Show stopper table layouts
Food is at the centre of most events. So a show stopper table layout should delight and enchant your guests. Using coloured water glasses can add an accent of colour to the table and Kensington linen can give a subtle touch of elegance. When decorating a table, the centrepieces should be the focal point where everything marries together – but be careful! You don’t want the guest on the other side to be obscured by a large vase of flowers. Above all make sure your layout works with your concept or theme.
If your event is centred on canapés you can still make the bar tables look stunning with the right linen and your canapés can look even more appetising on an interesting and unusual tray.
