Peter E.
Smith Associates makes a North Country lake association’s 100th Anniversary
a great
success.
The Event
This
North Country lakes association’s annual
meeting in 2004 was a special one as this year was their 100th
anniversary. The event was
planned for August and they were expecting around 400 guests. The location was
a very special
one as the site was located at an estate with a huge pergola overlooking
the lake.
The Requirements
The
pergola encompassed an area around 60 x 300.On one side there was a 60 x 120
older tennis court and on the other side a 60 x 120 grass area with a fish
pond.The Association
required a dinner tent for 400 with room to dance.
Also, a meeting tent, caterer’s
tent, food service tent, and a registration tent.
The Solution
Peter
E. Smith Associates looked at the site a year in advance to come up with a
plan. We provided a 60 x 120 twin peak tent to cover the tennis court
perfectly.As the tennis
court was older, it had many cracks and bumps; our solution to this was to
lay carpet down over the court.
A professional carpet installer was brought in to heat seal all the
seams to make one continuous floor.
We also installed a 20 x 40 dance floor in the main tent.
As this was a lobster bake and
self serve buffet style dinner a 20 x 60 high peaked frame tent was used
as a service tent.Attached
to this tent was a 20 x 40 caterer’s work tent.
The registration tent was a 15 x
15 high peaked frame tent.A
40 x 60 tent was used for the meeting prior to dinner, seating around
300.Peter E. Smith
Associates also provided lighting, white padded wood chairs, tables,
china, and linen to complete the package.
Peter
E. Smith Associates coordinates local college graduation seating for 2000
guests.
The Event
Local
college spring commencement uses a tent, stage and seats graduates, family
and friends for around 2000 people.
Traditionally the college has used tents to hold the event.
Peter E. Smith Associates has
worked with the college for a number of years coordinating and fine tuning
each event.
The Requirements
The
size of the stage and seating required over 12,000 square feet of space to
make the event run smooth and comfortable.
The stage area needs to seat 60-80
dignitaries and allow a walkway for the graduating students.
The tent area needed to have an
aisle for entering and fire code aisles along with seating for the
graduates and guests.
The Solution
Peter
E. Smith Associates provided a 100 x 140 twin peak tent (sub rented
through a larger company). This design and size of this tent allowed for
an 8’–10’ center aisle, graduate seating for 200 and guest seating for
1600-1800.The stage was a
3-level
24 x
60 area with handicap ramp access.
Solid sidewalls were used to act as a back drop for the stage.
Clear sidewalls were to be used on
the remaining sides in the event of bad weather.
A T-shaped carpet runner was used
for the student’s procession.
The stage was also carpeted to finish the job.
Peter E. Smith Associates
coordinated and worked diligently to ensure a successful
event.
Peter E.
Smith Associates makes a Wedding Day Memorable
The Event
A
couple from Andover,
NH was getting married and
wanted to have an outdoor event.
With the wedding planned for mid-August, why stay inside when the
weather welcomes such a format.
The location was set at the Audubon Center in Manchester, NH.
This location provided a scenic
backdrop that only could be taken advantage of by having a tent that
allowed nature to be the walls.
The Requirements
Thought the wedding was held
at a church in Bedford, NH, the reception was to be held at the
location mentioned above.The
number of guests attending the wedding was going to be around 120
people. In addition, a
caterer was providing the food for this event and they were going to need
adequate space to perform their job.
Next, what is a reception without dancing!
Therefore, the DJ needed space to
get setup and, of course, they needed a dance floor.
The Solution
Peter
E. Smith Associates provided all the products necessary to make this day
perfect.After discussing
some of the details with the couple, a floor plan was draw to provide an
image ofhow the site would
be organized.Since this was
a wedding, a table for the cake, gifts and food had to be considered.
Next, in order accommodate the DJ,
a Marquis was used which housed his equipment and provided him with a
space to work from.Since
that ground surface was grass a dance floor was required, as well.
The caterer required a set of
tables that were used as serving stations.
And finally, seating for the
guests that were attending the reception was included.
See the final floor plan that
encompassed all of the
above.
