Tables and chairs shape every gathering, setting the tone for how guests connect, dine, and celebrate. As essential pieces of any event design, the right styles create a natural flow and a welcoming atmosphere. Explore our table collections to inspire your layout, and see how blending styles with coordinating chairs and linens can bring your event vision to life.
Table Styles Available from EventWorks
Choosing the right table style lays the foundation for your event’s flow and aesthetic. EventWorks offers a variety of options suited to gatherings of every size and style:
- Round Tables: Ideal for encouraging conversation and intimacy, round tables work beautifully for weddings, receptions, and formal dinners. Pair them with cushioned Chiavari chairs in mahogany finishes to match classic or romantic settings.
- Rectangular Tables: Structured and versatile, rectangular tables offer a clean, polished look for banquets, reunions, and corporate events. These tables coordinate well with modern resin chairs or sleek cross-back wooden chairs that lend a casual charm.
- Square Tables: With their modern lines, square tables introduce a creative touch to boutique weddings, cocktail receptions, and stylish galas. For a contemporary layout, pair square tables with minimalist ghost chairs or black Chiavari chairs for a bold, sculptural effect.
- Specialty Tables: Specialty tables are designed to stand out. Featuring intricate woodwork and antique finishes, these pieces complement floral-focused weddings, vintage-themed events, and celebrations where every detail feels handpicked. Cake tables, sweetheart tables, or VIP setups look especially striking when framed by vintage or upholstered chairs.
Designing a Seamless Layout with Mixed Table Styles
Blending different table shapes brings energy and intention to your event space, helping guests move naturally through the celebration. Long rows of rectangular tables can frame the main dining area, creating a strong sense of structure and continuity. Nearby, clusters of round tables offer intimate pockets for conversation, making even large venues feel personal and inviting.
Specialty tables add character throughout the venue, offering focal points that highlight important moments. A sweetheart table crafted with antique woodwork draws attention to the newlyweds without overwhelming the space. Likewise, a cake table featuring ornate carvings becomes a quiet centerpiece, especially when framed with cascading floral displays.
Bringing cohesion to the layout starts with thoughtful textile and color choices. Matte satin linens in soft shades like champagne or ivory complement gold Chiavari chairs beautifully, offering a classic look for formal receptions. Velvet linens in deep jewel tones, such as emerald or navy, create rich visual depth when paired with dark wood chairs for evening galas.
For daytime celebrations, Panama linens in muted pastels (ex: dusty blue or sage green) coordinate naturally with whitewashed or light wood chairs.
Tents That Set the Stage for Outdoor Events
Tents define the experience of an outdoor event, creating a space where style and comfort meet under open skies. Whether you're hosting a coastal wedding, a garden party, or a corporate celebration, the right tent turns any outdoor setting into an inviting venue.
Our tent collection offers flexible options suited to gatherings of every size and style. Below, explore the different tent styles EventWorks offers and find ideas for designing a thoughtful, welcoming layout underneath the canopy.
Tent Styles Available from EventWorks
Every event deserves a tent that fits the atmosphere you envision. EventWorks offers a variety of options, each with unique strengths:
- Pole Tents: Traditional with dramatic peaks, these tents work beautifully for weddings and garden receptions, offering a classic, elegant profile.
- Frame Tents: Supported without interior poles, frame tents allow for open, flexible floor plans, perfect for galas, corporate events, and formal dinners.
- Structure Tents: With reinforced frames and a polished look, structure tents suit larger events requiring durability and architectural presence.
- Clear Top Tents: Featuring transparent canopies, clear top tents bring the surrounding landscape into view and create a memorable atmosphere for evening events.
Designing a Seamless Layout Underneath the Tent
A thoughtful tent layout balances beauty, comfort, and flow. Here are key ideas to shape the space:
- Define Main Zones: Establish dining, dancing, lounging, and ceremony spaces if needed. Long rectangular tables anchor dining areas, while clusters of round tables encourage casual conversation nearby.
- Create Natural Movement: Place dance floors near focal points such as a sweetheart table or a stage. High-top tables with barstools work well around cocktail spaces, encouraging guests to mingle easily.
- Use Specialty Tables as Highlights: Feature antique sweetheart tables, cake tables with ornate woodwork, or signing tables at strategic points to create vignettes that add depth to the layout.
- Maintain Visual Cohesion: Tie zones together with consistent linens and chair styles. For instance, matte satin linens in soft champagne tones paired with white Willow chairs create unity across varied table shapes.
- Plan Comfortable Spacing: Leave generous walkways between tables and seating areas. This allows guests to move naturally through the event without feeling crowded, even as the celebration fills with energy.
