Guildford / BEFORE YOU ASK
A little local detail.
A much clearer brief.
Guildford is a Surrey riverside town with a historic High Street, castle and cultural venues, as well as countryside and villages nearby.
Central venue or surrounding countryside?
Keep the shared brief to the general event area, venue type and useful postcode district. Ask suppliers to assess travel and setup for the actual property before agreeing a final price.
Connect service to the occasion
For a ceremony, performance or business programme, show when guests can eat and how long they have. Ask about staffing, queue layout and clearing around those stages.
The same event, clearly described.
Give the date, approximate guests, total budget, venue type and service window. Keep names, contact details, exact private addresses and named health information out of the shared brief.
