Walking Someone While Not At The Site
January 31st, 2007 @ 10:25 am by Mrs. Lime
This task is very difficult to do. Of course all the coordinators I met with, and caterers and florists I’ve been speaking with/meeting with don’t understand all the different areas of our venue or the flow of our event. I haven’t gotten a layout plan yet as the venue doesn’t give it to you until you do a walkthrough and layout with the site coordinator. I got sick of sketching the grounds of the estate on every single vendor meeting on some scrap (which I’d not-too-brightly toss afterward), so I drew this:
I traced over a Google satellite map, so everything got a bit cramped. I am by no means proud of the quality of this sketch (horrible [non]use of line weight). Hopefully it helps my vendors understand the venue better, rather than confusing them. I get a little dizzy looking at it. Crap, I just realized I forgot draw in the DJ stand and dance floor. Ah well, copies are printed. It’s too late now.
No one ever warned me this wedding stuff could get this complicated.

Very cool, miss BOP. I will be doing that once I get a plan from my venue and have things set more in stone. Right now, I just need *something* to help them understand that each event takes place in a different area and how they relate.
Did you ever know that you’re my hero? And everything I would like to be?
that looks pretty damn awesome. you should draw your own map insert.
uh…..can you make me one? lol That is AWESOME!

About Me: Between work and wedding planning, I try to squeeze in napping, drawing, random spurts of craftiness, tennis, and eating lots of Sprinkles cupcakes, dark chocolate, and noodles of all kinds.

i did the same thing, except with out the google map help. i opened up illustrator and mapped out our venue. i showed the table locations with the proper colored linens, showed the cake table and linen color, band, stage, food stations, etc… i made sure to note what size each of the tables were, too. it really really helped. i gave one to the florist and one to the reception venue.
