2. Planning & Logistics (The "Heavy Lifting" Phase)

Move your institutional knowledge into the client's hands so they collaborate with your team, self-serve or a little of both!

Remember: As the planner, you are adding templates to each project. Clients do not have access.

    • Space Layouts: Create master templates for every room (Ballroom, Courtyard, Terrace) with standard "Max Capacity" setups (e.g., 200-person seated dinner vs. 300-person cocktail hour).

    • Fixed Object Templates: Save "permanent" items like bars, stages, and built-in dance floors into your library so they’re always perfectly placed on every new project.

    • Furniture & Decor Library: Template your in-house inventory—like specific farm tables or lounge sets—as objects that can be dragged and dropped into any floor plan instantly.

    • Venue-Specific Logistics: Include "Load-in/Load-out" windows and "Final Walkthrough" milestones.

    • The "Flip" Schedule: A micro-timeline specifically for staff to manage the transition from ceremony to reception.

  • 📕Notes (The Venue Bible):

    • Rules & Regulations: Clear guidelines on candles, confetti, and noise ordinances.

    • Power & Tech Map: Where the outlets are, Wi-Fi passwords, and AV capabilities.

    • The "Rain Plan": A pre-written guide on how the Plan B layout works to ease "weather anxiety."

    • Intro to Aisle Planner: Ease "tech overwhelm" by explaining how you'll use your planning portal to collaborate. A clear onboarding note ensures clients actually use the tools, whether you're using the full suite or just a few key features.

    • Venue Photos: "Inspiration Gallery" featuring images of your venue, successful past layouts, and decor ideas to help clients see the full potential of your space.
