Planning notes for agencies and corporate teams

For best results, share the event schedule, expected guest count, brand guidelines, floor plan, load-in window, and whether the artwork should feel editorial, fashion-forward, hospitality-focused, or quietly classic. DC In Style can adapt the live art station for cocktail hour, reception transitions, VIP lounges, sponsor moments, or multi-hour conference activations.

Common planning questions include how many guests can be served, where the station should sit, whether branded cards or signage are needed, and how portrait pickup should work. Answering those details early keeps the experience polished for guests and easy for the production team.
