Words to take to your supplier

Warm light defines the dining area
Overhead light creates a visible ceiling to the dining area while the table decoration stays restrained.

What I want to borrow: Use the image to discuss atmosphere and where light is needed for guests and service after daylight fades.
Adaptation to discuss: Have the venue or qualified installer plan approved fixing points, power and routes. Decorative light is only one part of a usable lighting plan.

Questions for our supplier:
• Who installs and tests the lights?
• Will guests be able to read menus and see steps?
• What remains lit during arrivals and clear-up?

Scope to confirm: An overhead lighting plan with power, fixing points, access equipment and installation included.
Responsible people: Venue service lead and styling supplier; one owner for installation and collection.
Before confirming: Have the venue and qualified installer agree capacity, controls, clearance and setup time.
Working example (replace with actuals): Mock up one complete table with the service lead. Multiply only the tested arrangement by the number of tables using it, then list any agreed spares.
