Here is the sketch I was given to show the basic layout of the event at the venue.

I was able to visit the venue, get some measurements & take some pictures.

Once the client decided on the size of the stage, number & size of the tables and a few other basic details I was able to make a scaled floor plan.

I then produced a very basic 3D drawing and added the event colors, a few people & some lighting.

To further enhance the rendering I incorporated some of the pictures that I had taken and added some more lighting. This is an example of a very basic rendering to give a sense of the space, colors and mood of the evening event.

Here is a photo of the actual event.

For another event's concept (and having more time) I was able to further enhance the rendering by "constructing" a more detailed venue. Adding a 2nd floor, arches, trees & shrubs, etc.
