Villa Aletta gives you stone walls, a huge fireplace and a ceiling fully draped in fabric and twinkle lights. That ceiling is doing your sound a favor. Here's how we'd run the night.

The ballroom lights here are on a keypad only staff can reach, and the staffer goes home at nine. Get that sorted and you've got a great room. Here's what a DJ plans for at the Harper Center.

Four hundred guests fit in one room here, and that number cuts both ways. A big room makes a great party feel huge and a thin one feel obvious. Here's how to set it up so the floor fills.

You picked a glass garden full of blooms. Beautiful rooms like this can also turn your dance floor into an echo chamber if nobody plans for it. Here's how we'd keep the night warm and the sound tight.
