Where you choose to host your reception will be one of the largest wedding planning decisions that you have to make. It will also be one of the earliest things that you have to decide upon. Before you sign a contract for any specific venue here are a few questions that you should run by the site.

You will obviously need to assess the cost of the site. As well as how much it will cost in total, how do they accept payment? Is there an option of a payment plan where you can settle the cost of the event over a period of several months?

You need to know how long you will have the site for and what their policies are on parties that run over their allotted time. Some venues will simply charge you the same rate for the extra time whereas some venues will charge an increased overtime price. At a minimum of locations you may even be asked to leave, this is especially true if they have another event to host that day. If yours is the only celebration that day then the venue may simply charge you a flat fee. In contrast to this, is there a minimum amount of time that you have to hire out the venue for?

In addition you will want to ask about what is included in their reception package. Do they supply all the things you will need for the party, including catering and waitstaff, tables, chairs and dinnerware? Do you have to use the staff that they provide or can you bring in outside vendors if you wish?

Other questions to ask include the details of their liquor license and if there are any regulations on playing music. Believe it or not some avenues have to have their music turned off by a certain time. Make sure you aware of any such policies so your event does not have an unexpected early ending.

On top of this you will need to know whether the termination has their own liability insurance in case someone somehow gets injured. You do not want to have to shell out a fortune shortly after paying for an expensive event like a wedding. Although the thought of something bad happening may be unthinkable you will absolutely need to know that you are covered in case the worst does happen.
