01
Ceremony to cocktails
Keep an arrival route open and decide where guests will gather while the ceremony space is cleared or reset.
Weddings & Receptions
Plan the space around each part of your wedding: a clear view of the ceremony, room for dinner service, and a dance floor guests can reach easily. A stretch canopy can define one zone or connect several, depending on the site.
Ceremony sightlines
Plan the aisle, seating blocks, poles and ceremony backdrop together. Keep arrival and accessible routes clear without blocking the view.
Dinner and service
Allow space for table shapes, pulled-out chairs, catering routes and the bar. A seated capacity is only a starting point for the finished floor plan.
Dancing after dinner
Place the dance floor, DJ or band and lounge areas around guest movement. Confirm lighting, power and any suspended decor with the installation team.
Deep dive
Stretch tent, sailcloth or clear-top?
Compare canopy styles, site fit and daytime light before settling on the wedding layout.
Event zones
Plan the transitions between wedding spaces
Give your planner a guest count and a list of activities for each zone. Then review how the event changes from arrival to the final dance.
02
Cocktails to dinner
Position the bar and catering access so queues and service routes do not cross the main dining entrance.
03
Dinner to dancing
Decide whether the dance floor stays open all evening or requires a furniture reset, and allow for the crew and storage that reset needs.
04
A weather alternative
Agree which activities need cover. Waterproof fabric still needs suitable drainage, anchoring and a site-specific operating plan for the forecast.
