With providing wedding services at many banquet halls, we have worked with couples who have signed a contract and realized that they are not getting the service they thought which lead to many hurdles they have to overcome. While you search for the perfect venue, there should be many questions to ask ensuring the facility has everything the bride and groom desires from the venue. Before you visit a venue, create a list of everything that is desired to make the vision of your wedding become a reality. When viewing a reception hall, make sure to avoid the high pressure and the sales pitches during your visit, you'll hear all the reasons to put down the deposit, but before you do, there are some overlooked areas to consider and some questions to ask, and always, get everything in writing before you sign!
Occupancy of Venue
Prior to selecting the banquet hall for your wedding reception, you should have a rough idea of your guest list. You will not necessarily need an exact count but a general idea of who you will want to attend. When looking at the venue, make sure the wedding hall can accommodate your guest list, with many of the banquet halls having online presence, most will list how many persons their rooms can accommodate. This will allow you to eliminate events off your list without having to make an appointment and go look in person.
Catering verses Bring In Your Own Caterer
Providing a nice dinner for guests during the beginning of the wedding reception celebration is customary when planning a wedding. Depending on what you have budgeted for your catering needs, to cut costs, or if you have a preferred caterer, a select few venues will allow an outside caterer. Ask to ensure you can hire your own to come and cater your event?
Plate Costs
Plate Cost Per Guest and food vary vastly in their price ranges, it is good to know this front so that you do not waste your time with banquet halls that are out of your price range. The next thing to decide on is the food choices that you are going to have. Food is a big component of the final price of your package, so make sure you choose something that is going to be elegant yet not break the budget.
Provided Alcohol or Bring Your Own
If you elect to offer alcohol beverages to the adult guests, some venues will allow to bring in your own, while most charge a per person cost. If the venue is providing the beverages, ask if your charged if a bottle is open and not entirely used, if so, set of cut off time of when new bottles are open. This will give a time for the opened bottle to be used.
Colors and Design
When choosing a hall for your reception, focus your attention to the color or colors of the room, from the walls, to the color (s) and design of the carpet. Do the colors or halls theme coordinate with the idea you have for your wedding. Keep your wedding theme in mind when choosing a hall, and make sure the venue can accommodate the vision you have for your wedding celebration.
Time Limits Added Costs
If bringing in venders, how long do they have to set and also to take down? Many wedding venders whether the DJ, or the rental company providing chair covers, decorations or anything requiring setting up and take down, experience time constraints to properly provide services due to insufficient time in the beginning, end, or both. Ensure the venue provides sufficient time for the services needed for your wedding reception. Ask "How many weddings are held here in one a day? On many occasions, if an event begins at 6:00 pm, the venue will book another event prior to yours with an ending time of just an hour or so before yours. your venders the required time to fulfill the services. Ask the venue if there is a required time at the end, when everyone must be vacated, and are there any added costs which will be required of you if they go over that time period. there any hidden costs? (Before you sign the contract, read it carefully.)
Additional Lighting
If using up light to highlight the color or colors of your reception, consider the natural light inside the room from windows, doors, etc. Keep in mind, the outside lighting will diminish the up lighting during the daylight hours.
