Hookah Lounges outside at the Arts Pavilion were very popular. With 220 guests there I was not sure how these two ideas would go, but they ended up being very successful. The patios there so often go to waste, we really wanted to get people out there and make it fun so we removed the existing tables & chairs and had Discount Party Rentals do lounges on both patios and eight heaters (it was cold!) and it worked beautifully. We had 3 hookah pipes on each patio and we had a hookah waitress available to change out coals and provide fun & exotic flavors like "sex on the beach" and the more traditional middle eastern flavors.
The second idea also went even better than I'd hoped. Tequila Tastings on some of the cocktail tables. I got sets of Blanco, Reposado and Anejo from four really nice Tequila producers and stacked cobalt blue shot glasses. Again, with so many guests, I was surprised how long they lasted and how everyone kind of discovered them and explored them and enjoyed the experience it added to the evening. It really brought people together and gave them something to do and talk about. Lots of new friends were made, I highly recommend it.
