Subject:The Dupont Estate Resort event layout
Carlos--Here is the diagram of the DuPont grounds where our events will take place. --The layout includes the
noise aware signals that were placed throughout the property from the recommended company called "Noise
Aware"
--the South Gate on the cul de sac of sandflower where furniture such as rental tables and chairs and decorations
will be brought in and placed in the center of the lawns,
--The 10x10 stage will also be brought in through that long gate and will be placed in front of the mountain so
the sound vibrates off towards our house,
--If porta potties/mobile toilets are in need, then they will come though that delivery gate and placed inside the
property next to the gate near the master suite,
--Any tents (chuppahs/or pergolas/and/or dance floors will be close to the patio of the inside of the main house
that sits on Cameo palms btw the sandfliwer and cameo dunes cul de sacs inside on grass.
--Trash bins will be on our driveway, not on the streets. That said, There will be nothing on the streets to block
the flow of traffic. With small events, 20-35 cars will be on our side of the street, on driveway and on carport,
--With larger events, a shuttle bus will meet the guests, drop in front of main house on cameo palms drive and
then turn around on the sandflower cul de sac to exit,
--The only activity on the street will be the dropping and picking up of guests in an orderly way so as to NOT
create any traffic. There will be a security staff at the entrances and someone to be near to ensure the sound is in
compliance.
--Most deliveries occur on a thurs or fri afternoon prior to the event and picked up at check out on the following
Monday mid morning.
