Pro Tips for Location Features
Test the directions yourself to ensure accuracy. Include landmarks or distinctive features near your venue. Add parking information and any special access instructions. Consider traffic patterns and suggest alternative routes if needed.
For outdoor venues, include weather contingency plans and backup locations. Always provide a contact number for guests who get lost or have questions.
