A useful way through
- Write the guest count as a planning assumption and distinguish seated dining, standing reception and service areas. Ask the rental company to create a layout for the actual activities.
- Describe the site honestly: access route, surface, slope, utilities and restrictions. Arrange a site inspection where the supplier requires it.
- Request a scope covering tent, floor, entrances, lighting, furniture, delivery, setup and removal. Get written weather and cancellation arrangements.
- Confirm venue approvals, competent installation and emergency arrangements with the venue and supplier. Keep their contact details available to the event coordinator.

Put it into practice
Two quotes may both say “100 guests”. One includes a seated dining layout and flooring; the other is for a standing reception without flooring. Ask for the same layout before treating either as cheaper.
