Large halls such as catering halls, banquet
and receptions halls face the challenge of how to arrange the large
space based on the event and amount of guests. Many large reception
halls use mobile folding partitions.
Some are custom made and others are commonly found in institutions or
other commercial places. These types of room dividers are very costly.
To efficiently divide a large hall measuring over 60ft wide, would cost
over $5000. Commercial room dividers are not also the most
attractive. If you are planning an event in a large social hall, yet
there will only be handful of guests, the event would look empty if the
space was left undivided.
This Italian catering and banquet hall in West Virginia, uses a cost effective way to create attractive, portable inexpensive partitions.
The owner of the venue purchased 5 art print room divider screens of
red roses as well as eight shoji screens in 4 panels each. The art
printed screens of the roses are creatively used as a backdrop with
accented lights around it. This backdrop makes for a perfect visual
center piece where the bride and groom can sit in front of.
The shoji screens
are used to create an extra room for the ceremonial participants. This
partition creates almost like a back stage area for performers. Since
the screens are light weight for mobility, a creative way to add
support to the screens is to place floor plants in front and in back as
show in the images.
