How can a quiet space help wedding guests with sensory sensitivities?

Direct answer
A quiet space gives guests who need a break from sound, lighting or crowds somewhere voluntary to rest and rejoin when ready.
Ask what would help and choose a clearly identified area away from loudspeakers and busy circulation. Keep it accessible and avoid using it for storage or unsolicited filming. Explain where it is without labelling particular guests or requiring a diagnosis. It complements, rather than excuses, reasonable sound and lighting arrangements in the main event and should not become enforced segregation.
