- 6 months prior: Stonebridge will prepare a preliminary room layout, with table numbers, based on the estimated guest count and e-mail the floor plan in PDF format. The document will label label numbers to be used for your guest seating assignments.
- 6 months prior: confirm your linen choices (white linens are standard) including chaircover sash color (upgraded service) or chiavari chair color (upgraded service)
