Define the event before arranging the tables.
List the guest count and the activities you need to accommodate. A seated meal, dancing, a buffet and a presentation use space in different ways. Identify those areas first so the drawing represents the whole event rather than only the dining tables.
Build from a measured footprint.
Choose the tent or planning area and verify its dimensions. Add furniture with the sizes you intend to rent. Keep permanent obstacles and routes in the discussion. A plan is most useful when the equipment and space match the actual event conditions.
Use two views for different questions.
In 2D, compare placement and look at the arrangement from above. In 3D, explore perspective and help others understand the setup. RentSketch uses the same event for both views, so you do not need to redraw the design to explain another viewpoint.
Choose access for the job.
Individual event planners can preview the designer for five minutes and purchase a $9.99 Event Pass for 30 days of access to one design. Rental companies use a separate business workspace with a catalog, branding and customer quote workflow.
Review the plan with the people setting up.
Use the plan to ask specific questions about the equipment, entrances, service areas and installation. Confirm availability and site suitability with the venue and rental team. The software is a visual planning tool, not an engineering approval or equipment reservation.
