Finding the perfect wedding venue for your big day is a huge part of the wedding planning process and can leave every bride and groom feeling the pressure, after all the majority of locations have a wide range of wedding venues to choose from. However, ensuring you are prepared with a great set of questions when viewing your favorites is the key to sorting the wheat from the chaff and choosing your dream location.
Whether you are choosing from a selection of outdoor wedding venues or looking for a more traditional location to spend your special day, it helps to ask all the right questions when viewing and taking your pick. Check out our essential checklist for every bride and groom to be and ask the questions that get you the details you need to make your final decision.
Asking the owner about how many guests their venue can hold is one of the most important questions and should be the top of your list so that you can narrow down your guest list if necessary and send out invitations as the big day draws near. Get the facts and figures about how many guests are allowed and if the venue you are viewing has a license to hold the ceremony on-site as well as the reception, clarify capacity in the day and evening as this often varies.
Ensuring your wedding party is fully catered for throughout the day and even after your celebrations have finished is also important. Ask the owner whether there are any facilities on-site for guests to stay overnight, especially if your place is a long way from home or your guests would prefer not to drive. If they do provide accommodation ask for rates and capacity so you can inform interested members of your wedding party. Define what catering facilities the venue also offers, many wedding venues provide catering in house, while others have an approved list of catering professionals for you to choose from.
The pricing of your potential venue will be where the majority of your questioning lies; does your venue price per head, by minimum spend, charge room hire and catering separately or have a series of packages? Make sure you define via your questions exactly what is included for your money and determine whether the price of the venue includes catering, lighting, outdoor space, accommodation, parking, chairs, tableware and service.
Conclusion
Do your research when it comes to choosing your dream wedding venue to ensure your big day runs smoothly and is just as memorable and magical as you want it to be.
