Words to take to your supplier

Formal glamour through contrast and light
A high-contrast palette and repeated reflective accents create a more formal evening atmosphere.

What I want to borrow: Use this concept when you want deliberate polish and a room that changes character after dark.
Adaptation to discuss: Focus the reflective details and lighting on key areas rather than filling every surface. Ask the venue what lighting and tableware already exist before adding rentals.

Questions for our supplier:
• What will be visible before the evening lighting starts?
• Which hired pieces need specialist handling?
• How will menus remain readable in low light?

Scope to confirm: A restrained high-contrast palette with reflective details and a clear evening-light plan.
Responsible people: Venue manager and coordinator; agree access, weather and guest-flow responsibilities.
Before confirming: Test a complete setting after dark; confirm what is included in the venue’s furniture and lighting package.
Working example (replace with actuals): Walk the real site with the venue, annotate the guest route and sheltered layout, and put access and handback windows beside each setup task.
