Case: a company dinner for 400 seated guests
This case describes a format we run in the main hall, not a single client's story. A seated dinner stops at about 400 guests. Above that, the evening becomes a reception or it leaves the hall.
In short
A seated company dinner for up to 400 guests needs a hall for the table and an arrival before it. At Cantinerie the evening starts on the terrace or in the courtyard. The main hall takes the settings, about 400 seated. Standing, the same floor would be about 600, which is a different picture. The open kitchen stays visible. This case describes the format, not a named client's event.
The build
What makes 400 place settings possible.
Long tables or rounds, a modest stage, an open kitchen and a bar that does not cross the service path. A dance floor or a buffet in the room removes seats. That is why 400 is confirmed on the actual plan.
The reception before dinner can use the terrace, about 500 standing. After dinner the hall holds about 600 standing once tables move. Neither figure replaces open air for 5,000.
The evening
One line from arrival to the bar.
Guests arrive through the courtyard, not through the kitchen. Speeches sit before the main course or clearly after it, never in the middle. The light changes once, not at every agenda item.
One producer holds kitchen, service and technology. Guests see the tables, not the radios.
