Questions to settle before booking at Palais Royale Ballroom
Before you book, confirm which hall or room, and how guests will move between the reception and dinner; where the activation sits so it does not block service or the dance floor; the load-in door, parking, and the earliest set-up time; where the power outlets are and how cables will be routed; whether the venue charges for outside vendors or requires insurance certificates; and the quiet periods, such as speeches, when the activation should pause.
