Capacities, layouts and what to ask the venue team
Capacities listed by the resort are a good starting point, but confirm the setup (theater, seated dinner, cocktail) with the events team because layout changes how many guests fit comfortably. The resort publishes specific dimensions for some spaces (for example, Palm Court and Ocean Gallery) on its site.
When you contact the events team, ask about sound restrictions, whether the space is exclusive at your time slot, access to power and lighting, covered vs. uncovered options, and whether the venue requires specific vendor lists or insurance.
- Confirm the setup type: seated dinner, cocktail reception, or ceremony-only
- Ask about staging, lighting, and power access for music and AV
- Check if the ceremony will be on the terrace, lawn, or beachfront and whether the resort will move furniture
| Detail to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Setup type (seated vs. standing) | Determines final guest count and furniture needs |
| Access times for vendors | Affects load-in, rehearsal, and tear-down schedules |
| Parking or valet for guests | Impacts guest arrival flow and costs |
