Thanksgiving Luncheon

Last week, I had the pleasure of working with a fabulous client to put together a Thanksgiving Luncheon for about 70 people.  One of the challenges of this program was turning an ordinary meeting room into a dinning hall that surrounded the guests with the warmth of Thanksgiving.
How did we do it?
We started by setting the room up with long tables, very pilgrim 1st thanksgiving like.  Then we covered them with copper table cloths and added a chocolate runner to give some contract.  This addition of a second color really makes the table pop.  A runner was created out of fall leaves, gourds and indian corn.
On the walls we hung fall wreaths and to top it all off, a little Frank Sinatra played in the background.

Traditional Thanksgiving faire was served.  The buffet was completely decorated with pumpkins, hay, and a scarecrow.

Because we were able to change the setting into a more cozy environment, people felt comfortable sticking around and chatting with their coworkers.  It was nice to see people enjoying a little time away from their normal work day.

It truly turned out to be a great event.
