Answer

Direct answer

Stage height, approach and seat placement affect both sight lines and whether the couple and guests can reach the area comfortably.

Review the real layout with the venue and competent installer, including steps, handrails or an accessible alternative where needed. Check that the stage does not block exits or narrow routes. Try the seating and planned photographs rather than approving from a front-view image alone. A dramatic raised design is not automatically suitable for the people using it or the room's safe circulation.
