How can decorative cables and electrical equipment be kept out of guest walkways?

Answer

Direct answer

Have competent installers route, protect and secure cables so guests do not have to step over exposed wiring or equipment.

Review entrances, serving routes and accessible paths after installation, including places where chairs or decorations can hide a hazard. Ask who inspects the setup and responds to damage, rain or spills. Do not improvise overloaded extensions or move electrical connections yourself. Keeping a walkway clear is part of the event plan, not a problem to leave until someone trips.
