your interior flooring is dry on the day of the event. Also, consider what issues you may have when it comes to getting materi- als in and out. If the site is a bit removed and requires a number of heavy trucks to bring in materials, you may be looking at additional fees to repair turf or lawns if the vehicles sink. Stay in close contact with your representative at the site where you are holding the event and they will help guide you.”

Consider how you will get portable water for bar service if you are having it.”
Capone also suggests thinking through how far fromthe eating area restrooms will be set up, and adds that enough lighting should be available to light the way of attendees for an evening event. "Also con- sider having flooring within your tented area as formal or dressy footwear is often difficult in grass or uneven surfaces.”

"Dilworth Park is our newest andmost pop- ular, located on the west side of City Hall. It has joined the ranks of the city’s most desirable venues offering flexibility to accommodate every need, including large capacity events," she adds. "The trees around the park insulate it fromthe sounds of the street, and the great lawn adds a swath or green in themiddle of Center City Philadelphia.
