3. Decor: Work with their in-house decorator — ask for event theme portfolios.

4. DJ and Music: Confirm DJ package, sound system, and any extra lighting costs.

5. Payment & Contract: Make sure your contract clearly spells out the 25% advance, payment schedule, and cancellation policy.

6. Accommodation Block: Reserve a block of rooms for outstation or VIP guests.

7. Logistics: Plan guest arrival, parking, and event flow to avoid congestion.
