It’s become a common phrase among event professionals - a fully immersive experience. But are you really tapping into the right event design elements to create a fully immersive environment? To make a big impression with wow factor that lasts throughout the duration of your New York event, you’ll want to make every interaction immersive. And these are the event design must-haves to help you do just that.
What makes an event design fully immersive?
When your guests walk into your event, you want them to feel like they’re entering more than just a NYC venue. They should feel transported to an entirely new environment, with a vibe that immediately preoccupies them in the moment. It’s an illusion that they’re somewhere new, exciting, involved, and transformative. It’s a digital and physical experience that taps into all five senses, engaging sights, sounds, touches, aromas, and tastes. And only then have you created a fully immersive experience.
Event design elements to include with your NYC events
Don’t just host an event. Make it memorable and exciting with these event design aesthetics, guaranteed to make your event more immersive. From weddings and mitzvahs to corporate events and conferences, your activities and design elements need to engage in a big way.
1. Bring AR & VR
Technology is your greatest asset in creating an immersive experience. Use augmented reality with event activities and presentations, capable of transporting guests to new destinations. Use virtual reality to create stunning landscapes and visuals throughout your venue, simulating your themes. Have guests participate first-hand with digital registrations, impromptu photo booth sessions, and interactive games.
2. Incorporate 3D
Another modern method within the technology realm, is 3D. But there are incredibly immersive ways to incorporate 3D imagery into your New York event. Create 3D interactions at your tables and with your activations. Introduce 3D creations to boost your event’s theme, introduce colors, or accent other event designs and decor.
3. Envelop your venue with brilliant lighting
Your event lighting is instrumental in creating a fully immersive event experience, too. Outdoor or indoor, your lighting has to twinkle, highlight, showcase, and fully engulf your event aesthetics. Here are some lighting to consider for your event designs:
- Suspended votives
- Waterfalls of lights
- LED stage lighting
- Centerpiece lighting
- Grand entrance lighting
- VIP lounge lighting
4. Set every activity to music
No matter what your mood is, when the right song comes on, you can’t help but be moved. Use that dynamic with your event planning approach to music. Sounds, beats, and familiar tunes are all essential in getting your event crowd involved. Set the tone for a relaxed VIP networking soiree or boost the energy of your audience and get them dancing. Work with your band or DJ to curate a list of sounds and music to delight and fully immerse your audience.
