Walking
among your guests
Options: Walking and Seated
The options
Seated
at his own table
An overview by Tijl
Side by side
- Rhythm
- Moving with the evening. Light and easy.
- A fixed anchor point in the evening. Calm and approachable.
- Who moves
- I come to the guests.
- The guests come to me.
- The moment
- Short and spontaneous, mid-conversation.
- Longer, calmer, with concentration.
- Reach
- 40 to 50 guests per hour.
- 25 to 40 guests per hour.
- Duration
- Usually one to two and a half hours. For very big parties, two blocks of three hours are possible, with a break in between.
- Suits
- Reception, walking dinner, networking moment, product launch, dinner, client event, gala or conference day. The choice follows from the programme, not from the type of event.
- Practical
- No stage, no tech, just people. For Seated, a quiet spot is all it takes.
- Atmosphere
- Mentalism that happens up close: personal, disarming and impossible to explain.
Or both
Walking and Seated combine well within one evening
A typical combination: Walking during the reception, when everyone is moving around and conversations are starting. Then Seated after the main course, as a calm anchor where guests take a seat at their own pace, or for whoever missed the Walking moment.
Which balance works for your event depends on the programme, the space and the rhythm you're after. Tijl looks at that with you beforehand.
Rather decide by type of event?
Choose based on your programme
A separate note walks you through the choice: a rule of thumb based on your guest count, the duration of each format and when the combination is at its best.
