Table rounds and classroom setups are so … been there, done that. These four venues decided to get creative with their arrangements by designing true gathering spots where everyone wants to pull up a chair.
Chase Center
This riverfront venue in Wilmington, Delaware configures couches and lounge chairs into mini living room areas-all forward facing- where everyone can get comfortable for keynote speakers. UniqueVenues.com/ChaseCenter
Elvis Presley's Graceland
For a recent conference reception, the Memphis mecca set up mini living rooms with "blue suede" accent lights on furniture, which was surrounded by 20 of the singer's famous automobiles. UniqueVenues.com/Graceland
University of Nevada, Las Vegas
The university's conference and events department has started utilizing square tables instead of rounds to create a polished look and also maximize seating capacity to fit in more people for larger events. UniqueVenues.com/UNLV
Willowdale Estate
For a recent wedding, this boutique venue in Topsfield, Massachusetts organized white sofas around a central platform where the bride and groom stood for the ceremony. The idea was to give everyone a perfect view, and an extra comfortable seat so they could enjoy the moment. UniqueVenues.com/WillowdaleEstate
