4. DJ & Entertainment: Confirm DJ package, sound system, and lighting costs (if any).

5. Contract & Payments: Make sure your contract clearly states deposit, payment schedule, cancellation terms.

6. Accommodation Block: Reserve rooms (22) for VIPs or outstation guests as early as possible.

7. Parking & Flow: Coordinate guest arrival, car parking, and valet to manage peak event traffic.
