Fits on paper
Nothing on this record blocks a 120-guest seated evening, but nothing has drawn the room at that size either.
17 questions are still open, and the only capacity figure is the venue's own. Unknown is not a pass.

Worth checking first
Nothing blocks this room on the current record, but these items are worth confirming before you commit. Each one carries the question that would close it.

Only a posted headline sizes this room
Only a posted headline of 1000 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
Everything below comes from a source I can show you, with the date I read it. Most of it is what the venue says about itself, so treat it as a starting point and confirm what matters in writing.

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. Ask how many accessible restrooms exist, where they are, and whether guests must leave the event floor to reach them.
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 the venue to confirm 1000 against your exact date, layout and service style, in writing.
- Room & layout question 3. Ask the venue to restate "tent" in writing against your exact date and 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.
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.
- Production & load-in question 1. Ask for the amplified-sound cutoff in writing, and who enforces it on the night.
- Production & load-in question 2. Ask for the distribution board rating, the position of outlets, and whether any point is rated for rigging.
Capture Photograph the load path and technical positions. Obtain current power, rigging, network and house-AV specifications and identify the technical owner.
05 Fallback & operating limits
Weather and stop rules become expensive when they appear after design, entertainment or vendor commitments.
- Fallback & operating limits question 1. Ask what the wet-weather plan seats, who calls it, and by what hour the call must be made.
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 Meritage Resort and Spa. Nothing is ticked off here: the visit creates evidence, but this panel confirms no availability, suitability, accessibility, compliance or pricing by itself.
