• For peak dates or large weddings, parking (200 vehicles) needs careful planning.

Key Considerations / Tips

1. Event Layout Strategy: Use Emerald + Lawn for very large guest lists; for smaller or more formal ceremonies, select halls like Sapphire or Jasper.

2. Menu Planning: Since outside catering is allowed, but in-house is also good, compare quotes early and decide based on guest count / service.

3. Decor Consultation: Meet their panel decorator early — request photos of past weddings, theme ideas, and layout mockups.

4. DJ & Sound: Confirm DJ packages, sound system details, lighting, and any extra charges.

5. Booking Terms: Clarify 50% payment, cancellation terms, and payment milestones in your contract.

6. Room Block: Even though only 4 rooms are available, block them for VIP / family guests early.

7. Parking & Guest Flow: Estimate how many guests will drive, coordinate car parking and valet to avoid congestion.
