PRACTICAL GUIDE · 13 OCTOBER 2026

Build a simple run of show

A shared sequence helps the occasion feel effortless to guests.

List the key moments

Start with access and setup, then guest arrival, the main activity, any transitions and the close. Write down who owns each handoff. Keep the plan focused on the moments that require coordination rather than scripting every conversation.

Add the hidden work

Allow time for checks, breaks, changes of room and packing down. Confirm timings with the people delivering the services. A seating illustration is only a sketch and must not be used as an approved capacity or evacuation plan.

Share the right version

Keep one dated working version and make changes visible to those who need them. Avoid circulating private guest details in a general schedule. The guide is an organizational aid, not an event-safety assessment or an operational service.
