A community celebration brings neighbors, families and local groups into one room. The schedule keeps things simple: doors, a short welcome, dinner, then music and performances.
What to plan for
- Open one check-in lane for about every 250 guests, and post table maps at every entrance. Find my seat lets guests look up their table on their phone.
- Book rentals, staging and AV for the day before, or double the crews. A room this size takes much longer to set.
- About 10 double-sided buffet lines keep 1,000 guests fed in about an hour.
