Just finished a venue walk-through, and this is where real planning begins.
Here are 10 things you should look for when touring venues 👀✨👇🏾
I’m not just looking at how pretty the space is, I’m thinking about flow, functionality, and how the design will actually work on event day.
From hydraulic stages to multi-use rooms, this venue offers so many possibilities when you know how to design with intention.
1. Ceiling height – Determines florals, draping, chandeliers & lighting
2. Layout & flow – How guests move from entrance to reception to exits
3. Lighting (natural + installed) – This affects mood, photos, and design
4. Stage options – Fixed vs adjustable stages = flexibility
5. What’s included – Chairs, tables, furniture, chandeliers (huge cost saver)
6. Multiple-use spaces – Ceremony, cocktail hour, lounge, or getting-ready rooms
7. Hallways & transitions – Perfect for signage, florals, and design moments
8.Bar placement – Impacts traffic flow and guest experience
9. Bridal / groom suites – Comfort + content moments matter
10. Design potential – Can the space transform to match your vision?
