One trend we are noticing again and again is the use of long tables to distinguish honored guests. These tables demand attention, and get every guest talking about the feature table.

Communal dining tables in restaurants are designed to keep conversation flowing, and they encourage more interaction among guests. What could be more perfect for a special event?
