Ask about the complete guest journey: arrival, parking, entrance, seating, washrooms and exit. A venue described as accessible may still have a step at a side entrance or a difficult route between rooms. Request clear details rather than relying on a label.
Think about lighting, sound levels, quiet space, seating options and how guests can request help discreetly. Ask whether an accessible route remains available during setup and service. Invite guests to share their needs privately, and avoid making assumptions about what a particular person can or cannot do.
