For major events, it’s one of those areas that sometimes gets overlooked or pushed to the back of the list of priorities – the reception area. However, it really shouldn’t.

If you think about it, the reception area is perhaps the MOST important area of your event. Remember – people form a first impression in the first 5 seconds. Yes, you really do only have 5 seconds to create the impression you want, and a sloppy-looking reception area certainly isn’t going to enhance your reputation.

So, spend some time planning out your reception area. It needs to be a bright, welcoming, modern and fresh space – obviously – but it also needs to be functional. You’ll probably be expecting numerous guests within a short space of time, and so they need to be guided efficiently and effectively to where you need them to go, and what you want them to do upon arrival.

The starting point for a great reception area is a reception desk. Obviously, the larger the event, the more you will need! A reception desk offers a focal point for guests upon arrival. Once you have sorted this aspect, you can then accessorise your reception space with lounge furniture such as sofas, armchairs, coffee tables and maybe even some rugs and potted plants – whatever you need to create that professional, first impression!
