Elevating Your Occasion Using Cocktail Tables

Tables

The use of cocktail tables begun in the late 19th century in United States. Where there was an explosion of excitement for mixed alcoholic drinks. The term “Cocktail Hour” would soon be introduced as a prelude to dinner. It was an opportunity for guests of formal events to enjoy cocktail concoctions and also to mingle with other guests in a formal manner. As such, the need for such a furniture was required. Sitting down on low tables seemed too troublesome and it was often hard to mingle under such circumstance. Hence, the cocktail table was created. A tall table that was suitable for guests to place their drinks comfortably while conversing with other patrons alike. In Singapore, cocktail tables are often seen in formal events as well. Weddings, gala dinners before guests are welcomed into the main banquet hall, these tables are conveniently placed outside the waiting areas. Allowing guests to rest comfortably while speaking to one another.

Free up space

A huge advantage of using cocktail tables in any event is certainly the small footprint it takes up. Most cocktail tables span less than 90cm in diameter. This means that it doesn’t take up much space while providing guests plenty of surface area to place finger food plates or a glass easily.

Traditional tables require chairs which take up a lot of space. Thus, limiting mobility and the open feeling of a room. That said, high stools are also available should you require such an arrangement. If your venue has limited space, you can also fill up pockets of void space with these cocktail tables. Giving people the option to choose between standing and sitting.

Improvement of event flow and movement

For most formal events, strategically placing cocktail tables at an area can facilitate and encourage mingling to happen between guests. After a speech or award ceremony, inviting your guests to an area where there are drinks and refreshments is a great way to maintain the mood and encourage your patrons to stay. These cocktail tables create a natural gathering point for people as they will use the tables to place their drinks. Also, due to the construct of a cocktail table, it prevents guests from being stuck and too comfortably at one spot. Which is a great especially for networking, receptions and parties

Aesthetic appeal

Cocktail tables can come in many materials, finishes and cloth options. This makes them highly versatile for different event themes. Whether you want a plain table, with a cloth or even with a ribbon or tassel. These tables seamlessly integrate with the existing decor. Making them a no brainer option for almost any type of event. It is also extremely easy to source cocktail table rentals. With its popularity on the rise, prices are also affordable and many design options available.

Micro Weddings – Why are they so popular in 2021?

Chairs, COVID-19, Party Planning, Personal, Tables

COVID-19 has changed many aspects of Singaporeans’ lives. Whether is it planning for a family, going out for events, having a simple meal in a group or even planning a solemnization or wedding reception. With the current restrictions in place allowing maximum of 100pax with Pre-event testing required, many fellow locals have decided to postpone or cancel their crucial milestone. However there are solutions that need little compromise. We hope to share with you what Many others are doing in Singapore with Micro Weddings.

Micro-Wedding receptions

Trending worldwide and its significant popularity increase, are Micro weddings. They tend to be smaller in size and therefore, more room to decorate and increase the event’s intimacy. Humbled by the pandemic, This is currently the route that most couples are taking to get around the legislative laws required for larger events.

A micro wedding is a small wedding consisting of 50 people or less. The lesser people you invite, the more intimate the event can be. You can make it an exhilaratingly personal event by inviting 20 to 40 people, or you can have a ‘VIP-only’ guest list of 10 loved ones. Given the limited guest list, micro weddings are often hosted at an intimate venue. We will share some possible venue locations below and how you can make your reception one to remember.

gazebo tent with inner lining for an intimate affair

Here are some suggestions to hosting a superb micro wedding:

- Choose a venue with a strict guest capacity. This can take the pressure off you feeling guility about inviting your extended circle of friends. There are many venue locations which only allow up to 30 pax – 50 pax due to fire safety reasons or even due to COVID-19 restrictions. As the laws are changing all the time, it is best to check with the venue owners themselves on the latest rules and regulations.

- With a limited guest list, you raise the curtain on your wedding venue options. Think outside of the box for your intimate location; Exchange vows inside a stunning greenhouse, invite your guests to a well decorated tentage. The venue could also be the the place you met your loved one, got engaged, said “I love you,” or dined at for many date nights. One effective way to narrow the search is to think about your relationship. The options are endless!

Most normal weddings only involve a select few guests such as the couple’s parents, siblings or closest friends. However, if you’re having a micro wedding, depending on the size, you can have them stand and encircle you as you exchange your vows, seat them at one big table at the wedding reception, or have everyone attend the rehearsal dinner. There’s nothing more fulfilling than having the people close to your heart near you and giving them your attention.

- Infuse your love story into your décor. Perhaps there’s a plot of grass or park you used to play when you are younger that can be transformed into a modest yet alluring space with exaggerated florals. A backyard/beach where you noticed your partner can be comfortably converted into an exclusive solemnization with fairy lights and rustic backdrops. We provide AV equipment to live stream the fascinating event for those who are unable to attend as well. Since micro weddings are smaller and significantly cheaper, successively you can make a bigger investment into the decorations. Wedding Decorations are one of the backbone of any event. Get it right and you will leave a lasting memory in everyone’s minds. Whether it is surrounding the venue in a beautiful concoction of Fairy lights, A wedding arch to focus the attention at the altar or even getting creative with seating arrangements, long estate table to seat all your guests making everyone feel like family!

From long tables to matching chairs to fairy lights to florals. Key to a stress-free micro wedding is to get all your décor covered.
