Fits on paper

16 questions are still open, and the only capacity figure is the venue's own. Unknown is not a pass.

Worth checking first

Only a posted headline sizes this room
Only a posted headline of 120 exists, and a posted headline is the most generous reading a venue publishes. It is a marketing artifact until a layout proves it, and it is a property total as often as it is a room.
Ask Ask for a stamped or drawn layout at your headcount, for the room you would actually hire.
What would have to change
Nothing blocks this room on paper, but the only figure sizing it is one the venue publishes. A drawn layout at your headcount would clear the caution.
None of this is a judgment on the venue. It is a statement about the record as it stands today — most of these are one phone call away from being answered, and the answers would change the reading.
What is known

Questions to ask before you book
Ask for the answers in writing. A friendly yes on the phone rarely survives a change of staff, and these are the things that usually come up after a deposit is paid.

Walk in operating order
Do not tour the venue as a sequence of attractive rooms. Walk the event: arrival, access, exact layout, peak service, production, fallback and commercial close. The questions below are the unresolved parts of this record placed into that order.
Four things to leave with
- Measure geometry that changes the plan.
- Photograph routes, thresholds and technical positions.
- Obtain the current document or itemized quote.
- Name the owner and deadline for every open answer.
01 Arrival & access
The event starts before the room and accessibility is a continuous chain, not an entrance feature.
- Arrival & access question 1. Ask for a floor plan showing arrival, coats, bars, service routes and exits at your headcount.
- Arrival & access question 2. Ask for a drawn layout at your exact headcount, with service aisles and egress paths shown.
- Arrival & access question 3. Ask for a photographed route from the drop-off point to the restrooms, with every change of level marked.
Capture Photograph the route from set-down to the room and restroom. Measure any narrow, steep or ambiguous point and name every level change.
02 Room & layout
A published maximum is not proof that the event objects and people fit together.
- Room & layout question 1. Ask for a stamped or drawn layout at your headcount, for the room you would actually hire.
- Room & layout question 2. Ask for a seated layout at your headcount with tables, dance floor and service aisles.
- Room & layout question 3. Ask for the indoor fallback, its seated capacity, and who decides when it is called.
Capture Get the room drawing, then mark doors, columns, fixed objects, stage, bars, dance floor, service lanes and egress on the exact event layout.
03 Service & guest flow
The empty room can work while peak service creates crossings, queues and missing holding space.
- Service & guest flow question 1. Ask for the available service in amps, the distribution points, and what house AV is included.
- Service & guest flow question 2. Ask whether catering is exclusive, and what kitchen exists on site in writing.
Capture Walk food, beverage, clearing, waste and guest queues at their busiest moment. Photograph holding and storage space, not just front-of-house finishes.
