If you've ever considered hosting a barn party or event, you're probably already familiar with all the benefits.
Barn spaces lend themselves to an organic and rustic vibe, perfect for group gatherings. They also offer unique features that create a memorable experience for guests and make your barn event stand out from other options.
We understand the importance of creating a remarkable experience for your guests, that is why we've compiled this guide to assist you in realizing your ideal barn event.
Escort Guests to the Event Space
Provide directions to the barn event venue. If you're hosting an event at a venue that isn't well-known or unfamiliar to most people, make sure to provide detailed directions and maps for guests so they can find their way easily.
Also include parking information for those who may have trouble finding an available spot near your venue.
If hotels are nearby, include a list of them on your website or other promotional materials. Hence, guests have options if they need somewhere else to stay after spending time at your event space--and make sure these hotels have rooms available!
Create a Fun and Inviting Entryway
The entryway is the first thing people see when they arrive at your event. It's essential to create a fun and inviting atmosphere in this area by making it personal, unique, and memorable for guests. Here are some ideas:
- Have a photo booth where guests can take fun photos to remember their time at the event.
- Create a custom backdrop with your logo and colors, which will help make people feel like they're stepping into your brand when they walk through the door.
- Set up props related to your event theme or industry so guests can add them to their photos.
Create a Welcome Center and Gift Shop
Your barn event should have a welcome center where guests can relax, refresh and purchase gifts. This is also an ideal place for guests to get help, sign in and pick up directions before they head out onto your property.
You may want to create your custom map or use Google Maps or another online tool like Mapquest so that you can print out enough copies for everyone attending the party (or keep it digital on your phone).
Provide Food and Drinks
If you want to promote your brand, hosting an event in a barn setting could be a fantastic opportunity. To make sure that guests have a memorable experience, offer them food and drinks that match the theme of your event.
For example, if you're planning an outdoor wedding in springtime, consider serving strawberry shortcake or other fresh berries as part of the dessert course.
If there are multiple courses at your party (such as cocktails before dinner), make sure each one has something for everyone: not just vegetarians but also people who don't eat gluten or dairy products. And don't forget dessert!
Don't forget about non-alcoholic drinks--you may want some options besides beer on hand so everyone can join in on the fun without worrying about having too much fun!
Create an Open Floor Plan
Make sure you have enough seating with an open floor plan! It's a good idea to have at least one seat for every two people, and if you can, try to increase the number of seats available.
By ensuring enough room for everyone to unwind and have a good time, you can create an atmosphere that will allow your guests to fully enjoy the event.
Establish a Flexible Timeline, but not too flexible!
If you're hosting an event with your family, friends, or business associates and some important guests are expected to show up at certain times, ensure that their arrival time is accounted for in the timeline.
In the case of an outdoor event, it may be best to establish a flexible timeline. If certain activities need to happen at specific times, consider adding some leeway for those who may be running late due to traffic or other issues.
There you have it!
We hope that you've found the information in this guide helpful as you plan your dream barn event. If you follow our tips above and keep your mind open to new ideas, planning will be a breeze!
