Only a published seated figure sizes this room
120 guests against a published seated figure of 120, read off the venue's own pages and never drawn. Posted figures are marketing artifacts until a layout proves them, so this room is not sized for your headcount — it is unmeasured.
Ask Ask for a drawn layout at your exact headcount, with service aisles and egress paths shown.

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 drawn layout at your exact headcount, with service aisles and egress paths shown.
- Arrival & access question 2. Confirm the actual table plan, which guests would be seated upstairs, and whether every guest who needs a step-free route can be seated within the ground-floor plan.
- Arrival & access question 3. Ask how guests move between arrival, ceremony or session, service and exit, in writing.
- Arrival & access question 4. Confirm the continuous guest route for the contracted layout and keep required accessible seating, dining, dancing and restroom access on the ground-floor route.
- Arrival & access question 5. Ask for the continuous accessible route from the arrival point to the room, in writing.
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. Confirm the current contracted Main Space banquet plan and the seated count it actually supports with the dance floor retained.
- Room & layout question 2. Confirm the event-date tent window, weather-call deadline, guest transition path, and the indoor hold if the Courtyard cannot be used at the planned dinner headcount.
Capture Get the room drawing, then mark doors, columns, fixed objects, stage, bars, dance floor, service lanes and egress on the exact event layout.
05 Fallback & operating limits
Weather and stop rules become expensive when they appear after design, entertainment or vendor commitments.
- Fallback & operating limits question 1. If you need 165, ask what indoor room replaces the courtyard in winter.
Capture Write the trigger, decision owner and deadline for every contingency or restriction. Get the applicable policy or contract clause, not a verbal summary.
8 written answers outstanding for The Foundry. Nothing is ticked off here: the visit creates evidence, but this panel confirms no availability, suitability, accessibility, compliance or pricing by itself.
