See... Hear... Touch... Smell... Taste

  • What lighting is needed to create the right ambience for your event?
  • What type of visual setting do you want to create?
  • Are you planning on using film or other visual communication that has to be integrated in the event?

Hear

  • Should music be in the background or take a more prominet part?
  • Should there be a live orchestra?
  • Or a DJ playing?

Touch

  • Should the tables be set with rough or smooth materials?
  • How will the guests be seated, on hard chairs or soft cushions?

Smell
