How (and when) to use the sample layout resource: (keep scrolling for the actual floor plans)

Browse overall options to see if your vision can fit the floor plan options below.
Think about your guest count and the season and if you’ll want to utilize the patio space.
Don’t spend a lot of time stressing on exact locations of DJ, Cake, gifts, etc! That decision comes later, and “extra” tables are EASY to shift around on the day-of.
Decide if you will have a large head table with your bridal party or a sweetheart table for two.
Browse the floor plan and decide if you’ll use the standard: 10x 14 ft tables with 12-18 guests per table OR a hybrid option.
Order centerpieces accordingly (you’ll finalize after RSVPs come in)
Attend an open house to get a visual of your ideas, test out décor ideas, browse the décor closet in person
Once RSVPs come in, share the head count and final overall layout selection with Sunset Oaks via the online planner tool.
On the final details call, finalize where you’ll locate DJ, Cake, gifts, etc! If you are nervous, look through venue photos and know, “extra” tables are EASY to shift around on the day-of.

Venue Advice-

Decide on the following before you select

1- Do you want a large head table with your wedding party?

2- Do you want the double doors open to the patio (for easy access to the lounge patio, buffet, mobile bar, and outdoor seating)

3- Do you have a preferred dance floor location? Under the chandelier, larger/more square dance floor in front of fireplace, or outdoor dance floor under the twinkle lights?

4- WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE RSVPs to finalize your decision. We typically see those who invite 200 have roughly 150 rsvps

NOTE: the DJ, Cake, Sign-in/Gifts will fit in. If you want to swap location of the “extra” tables, you can easily do this at setup- it takes less than 5 minutes to swap the DJ or Cake table

HINT: DON’T STRESS OVER IT. Scroll below for sample floor plans at different headcounts.
