Local details worth recording
Programme timing shifts by district in Malaysia as much as furniture does — confirm the venue's exact bump-in window alongside the building, entrance and loading-bay contact, not just the area name.

Quick answers to what comes up most before you send an enquiry.
What's the first planning decision for a garden wedding furniture plan?
The guest flow and running order for the day — furniture quantities follow from that sequence, not the other way round.
How do I avoid over- or under-ordering?
Split quantities by zone and session — arrival, ceremony, dining, standby — instead of working from one flat headcount.
What access details matter most for this event type?
The loading window, the lift or stair route furniture actually travels, and who is authorised to sign for delivery on the day.
