WE WILL NEED THIS FORM BACK 1 MONTH BEFORE YOUR EVENT DATE
NOTE: If you are unable to finish this form in one sitting, there is a "save" option at the end of this form.
We require that you use a professional coordinator on your wedding day. They are wonderful in helping anticipate your needs + to help everything go smoothly behind the scenes as well as keep stress away from family, and the couple. They offer priceless experience with creating your layout, handling other vendors, and communicating with us, your venue.
We ask that this not be an immediate family member or someone in the wedding party. This person will be our point-of-contact for the day.

Layout Guidelines:
The layout (placement of tables and chairs owned by The Raymond) you choose from our in house layout selection (above) or the approved custom layout you submit will be set-up by The Raymond team. We are glad to offer this service to our clients to make their layout set-up more convenient.
We do want to note that if you do not provide your final layout choice in enough reasonable time for us to approve and complete it (a week before your wedding date) we will use a default layout of our choosing or the last layout you provided that we, The Raymond, approved.
