What would have to change

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.
1. Arrival & access question 1. Ask for a drawn layout at your exact headcount, with service aisles and egress paths shown.
2. Arrival & access question 2. Ask how guests move between arrival, ceremony or session, service and exit, in writing.
3. Arrival & access question 3. 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.
1. Room & layout question 1. Ask for a seated layout at your headcount with tables, dance floor and service aisles.
2. Room & layout question 2. Ask what the covered fallback is, at what headcount it is sized, and who decides when it is called, in writing.
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.
1. Service & guest flow question 1. Ask for the available power service, distribution points and house AV inventory, in writing.
2. Service & guest flow question 2. Ask which caterers are permitted, what kitchen facilities exist on site, and what is charged separately, 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.
04
Production & load-in
A room that says it has AV or power may still be unable to carry the actual show file or supplier path.
1. Production & load-in question 1. Ask for the amplified-sound cutoff time, the applicable limit, and how it is measured, in writing.
Capture Photograph the load path and technical positions. Obtain current power, rigging, network and house-AV specifications and identify the technical owner.
