Worked examples
Finished plans, with the arithmetic showing.
Four events taken through the suite and left where you can read them. Each one names its atmosphere, its headcount and its constraints, and every number in it came from a rule you can look up. Load one into this browser, walk it, then clear it — clearing removes every trace.
Read the rulebook if you want the formulas before the examples, or start from your own brief.
The event the suite loads
Fen House, 14 November
96 seated · blackberry & bone · one Event Project
Ninety-six seated, a historic house in November, a room whose headline capacity is 140 and whose working seated capacity is 120. The difference between those two numbers is dinner, a dance floor, a bar and the aisles service needs, and it is the difference the plan is built on.

Brand supper for 80
Midnight library · mocha / cream · three beats
Eighty covers, a brand in the room, a supper that has to photograph as a house not a launch. Mocha Evening is the named atmosphere: cocoa undercloth, clotted-cream linen, butter brass, chocolate cosmos at the perimeter if scent is safe.

Micro memorial
Under 40 · winter woodland · spoken hold
A memorial is not a party with the music turned down. It is a room that has to hold people who did not choose to be there, and some who will leave before the formal ending.

November garden wedding
80 guests · sage / ivory · $18k atmosphere cap
Eighty people, a garden in November, an $18k atmosphere cap, sage and ivory. That is a brief a florist can hear. It is not a Pinterest board.
