Accessibility Consultations for Event Venues

At The OT Companion Project, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to participate fully in life’s most meaningful moments. As occupational therapists, we understand how environmental barriers can impact a guest’s ability to comfortably attend and enjoy an event.

Our accessibility consultation service helps venues identify opportunities to improve accessibility, inclusion, and guest experience for older adults and individuals with mobility, sensory, or cognitive challenges.

Whether you’re looking to better serve wedding guests, corporate event attendees, or community members, we provide practical recommendations that help create welcoming spaces for all.

What We Assess:

Accessibility consultations may include a review of:

  • Parking and drop-off areas
  • Entrances and pathways
  • Ceremony and reception spaces
  • Seating arrangements
  • Restroom accessibility
  • Signage and directions
  • Transportation and shuttle access
  • Guest flow and mobility considerations
  • Quiet spaces and rest areas

What You’ll Receive:

Following the assessment, venues receive a personalized report that includes:

  • Identified accessibility strengths
  • Opportunities for improvement
  • Practical recommendations tailored to your space
  • Prioritized action items based on feasibility and impact
  • Suggestions to better support aging adults and guests with disabilities

Who Benefits?

This service is ideal for:

  • Wedding venues
  • Event venues
  • Banquet facilities
  • Historic properties
  • Community centers
  • Conference and meeting spaces

Why Work With The OT Companion Project?

Unlike traditional venue inspections, our recommendations are informed by occupational therapy principles and real-world experience supporting older adults at events. We focus on how guests actually interact with a space and what helps them participate comfortably, safely, and confidently.

Our goal is not only to improve accessibility, but to help venues create exceptional experiences for every guest.
