Definition: It’s as simple as it sounds- Room Flip is the process of transforming a space between the ceremony and the reception, to create a completely different layout.
Practical Use + Tips: It’s rare to do a room flip unless necessary. Some venues such as Brodie Homestead and The Allan House are limited in square footage, and therefore flips are common.
A few things to consider:
- Timing, timing, timing! A room flip is typically a lot of moving parts and making sure there is enough time to flip the space and create the beautiful vision is crucial. We typically like to plan for 30 min-1 hour.
- Room flips can end up needing more than the typical staff count so that it can get done within the timeframe. That may lead to additional cost added from your vendors.
- Depending on the venue, a flip can be chaotic or noisy. It’s best to have your guests transition to a separate space and keep them busy with great music and a flowing bar!
