We can create<strong> unique ephemeral spaces<\/strong> tailored to your needs, the technical specifications of the venue and your budget. They fit elegantly into <strong>any type of reception venue<\/strong>. Their modularity makes it possible to create tailor-made spaces to suit a wide range of atmospheres. When we&#039;re building your event, it&#039;s essential to address the question of<strong>space planning<\/strong> according to the event you&#039;re organizing.

Or will you opt for a sit-down meal?   <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Would you like to reserve space for the caterer, DJ or dance floor under the tent?  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Of course, you&#039;ll need to choose the right <strong>size tent<\/strong> for the number of guests.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Setting up your tent at the reception site<\/h2>\n\n<p>Tea<strong> technical visit<\/strong> we organize provides a complete analysis of the environment in which the reception tent will be set up for your event.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Starting with access to the site where <strong>equipment will be unloaded <\/strong>, and to the site where the tent will be erected to host the festivities. Is the site easily accessible, or will crews have to negotiate steps, etc.?   <\/p>\n\n<p>What view would you like to offer your guests, given the constraints of the site? Do you want to conceal a parking lot? Where can amenities be located? We invite you to consult the various solutions offered by our <strong>exclusive partner<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/events-tent-concept.com\/en\/shower-facilities\/\">Ioland Workshops<\/a>.     <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical aspects of organizing your event<\/h2>\n\n<p>Of course we also check the <strong>type of ground <\/strong>on which the tent will be set up. Is the ground uneven? The installation of a <strong>reception floor<\/strong> is strongly recommended.    <\/p>\n\n<p>It is also essential to identify <strong>any pipes <\/strong>(gas, electricity, water, automatic sprinklers, etc.) that may run across the site where the <strong>marquee<\/strong> is to be erected. A stretch tent needs to be stretched on all sides. A serious anchoring system is required for each hanging point. In most cases, these are anchored by <strong>batteries drilled into the ground. <\/strong>    <\/p>\n\n<p>As you can see, to guarantee the <strong>success of your outdoor event<\/strong>, it&#039;s important to define the different areas set up under your reception tent for efficient organization, so that each service provider can provide its service under the best possible conditions.<\/p>\n\n<p>Whether for the<strong> caterer or the DJ<\/strong>, you&#039;ll need a power supply. If your venue is not equipped, you&#039;ll need to hire a generator. The DJ and caterer will be the biggest consumers, so it&#039;s important to work out the power requirements with each service provider. Have the generator set up far enough away from the<strong> reception tent<\/strong> so that its noise (and sometimes the smell of gasoline) doesn&#039;t interfere with your event.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A wedding ceremony in a nomad tent<\/h2>\n\n<p>Brides and grooms-to-be, your <strong>reception venue<\/strong> doesn&#039;t have a plan B for securing your ceremony in the event of extreme heat or, worse still, rain? It&#039;s essential to plan ahead and rent a nomad tent to avoid finding yourself without a solution due to lack of availability. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"An image containing person, clothes, wedding dress, bride Description automatically generated\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXc5F3aifvufqvULVvwPm_Dk8_BdAvnWbI8uAWqLhTCTeJSS-xOGziRUPP2S77291isqdHasC7UmXg7vwvusl_hstmJ3wNipvzCMro4obvXOfphm33ryfzav-9Rge-aeJa7O7wTfQ3zfXrsqoDEBo70?key=3s-mok18brk0m-niw-FX2Z_j\" width=\"328\" height=\"219\"\/><\/p>\n\n<p>Avoid<strong> unnecessary stress<\/strong> and enjoy the last week before your wedding with peace of mind. Contact us now for your personalized quote. For a <strong>wedding ceremony<\/strong> we recommend 0.7m2 to 1m2 per guest, depending on the width of the central aisle, the type of <a href=\"https:\/\/events-tent-concept.com\/en\/mobilier\/\"><strong>event furniture<\/strong><\/a> and the amount of space you wish to leave empty for you and your guests.    <\/p>\n\n<p>To optimize the use of the <strong>reception tent<\/strong> during the weekend of your reception, it can also be used to secure a welcome dinner, your next-day brunch, etc.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An outdoor wedding or corporate cocktail party<\/h2>\n\n<p>To make a success of your<strong> cocktail party<\/strong> and impress your guests, a nomad tent will enable you to organize this moment of conviviality in an elegant setting. Even if the organization is planned down to the last detail, here again, having a plan B will prevent the party from being thwarted by <strong>unfavorable weather conditions<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Your caterer&#039;s <strong>culinary workshops <\/strong>, buffets and bar can be set up under the reception tent, out of the sun to keep drinks cool. Make sure they&#039;re set up in such a way as to guarantee a <strong>smooth flow of traffic<\/strong> under your reception area. Depending on the level of comfort required, allow 0.5 to 1m2 per guest.    <\/p>\n\n<p>Place a few high tables, and arrange a few chairs for the comfort of older guests, for example. You can also create lounges with vintage furniture, like this wedding at a campsite in Lacanau, Gironde. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXcMbJ_I8X-j90L-SiOx69Oay8y6JMTAI8YcvuWnqu2GiCr7u_sfffbEEXpthEidOW0DKUFDA841qn9LO8NlOBpK9TUKxCLifrFMW-swkSrVsIGKdt-Oa26dZvS_U_4hWgRKBdzxxqsH9cYUVxjyvvM?key=3s-mok18brk0m-niw-FX2Z_j\" alt=\"An outdoor wedding or corporate cocktail party\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Organizing a chic dinner in a reception tent<\/h2>\n\n<p>Imagine holding your<strong> wedding dinner outdoors <\/strong>on the family estate, offering your guests an unforgettable experience with all the comforts of a reception hall? It&#039;s all possible with our <strong>stretch nomad<\/strong> gold<strong> Eleanor <\/strong> <strong>tents<\/strong>, depending on the number of guests.   <\/p>\n\n<p>When working out the <strong>layout <\/strong>of your dining area, please note that our stretch tents or our Ali\u00e9nor tent feature interior center poles.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Count on 1 to 1.2m2 per guest for a sit-down meal, depending on the type of furniture you choose. To facilitate access for all guests, we suggest installing the<strong> dance floor <\/strong>at the heart of your reception tent.   <\/p>\n\n<p>It may be a good idea to create<strong> additional areas<\/strong> so that the caterer can benefit from a real open-air catering service. Or create a second space to secure your dance party by installing a covered dance floor. The creation of lounge areas with cozy furniture such as our<strong> bamboo furniture set <\/strong>is also a great success.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing the right event furniture for your wedding, seminar or corporate cocktail party<\/h2>\n\n<p>For your<strong> private<\/strong> or professional<strong> event<\/strong>, the choice and arrangement of furniture are important to optimize the space under your reception tent. For a cocktail reception, stand-up tables are ideal. They encourage sharing and discussion.    <\/p>\n\n<p>Generally speaking, <strong>round tables<\/strong> always take up more floor space than rectangular ones. Make sure there&#039;s enough space between two tables. Catering teams need to be able to move around easily to serve food. Your guests need to be able to get up easily to dance, for example.     <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXcHlOCgVeKe_Y05DGdXzj89T95x3JqhXKqzZLmmRr1UU7EkgmW-iKXoe6yhx65Ix0kqvPH-jXOnuhOrglgrhDxm-ZDHGWnYz4IDKeE7LCL1bGhrMO-3wcCH6Zqsn5k5LLPdhhve5dAUQZfoQCzBzU4?key=3s-mok18brk0m-niw-FX2Z_j\" alt=\"Choosing the right event furniture for your wedding, seminar or corporate cocktail party\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>For a <strong>friendly<\/strong>, relaxed <strong>event<\/strong> with a country feel, create long banquet-style tables with rectangular seating.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Decorating your reception tent<\/h2>\n\n<p>For any night-time use of your <strong>reception tent<\/strong>, we&#039;ll integrate partial or total lighting of your reception area.
