Discover the Top 5 Things to Ask Your Wedding Venue
Finding the perfect wedding venue requires careful consideration and is a crucial step in planning your big day. To help you out, I have put together the top 5 things you & your partner should to consider when choosing a venue.
Pricing: Start by exploring the pricing options for your wedding venue and make sure it aligns with your budget. Be sure to ask if there's a package price per person and what are, if any, the associated conditions. Additionally, check if there's a minimum spend or room hire that you need to keep in mind.
Timing: Make sure you fully understand the timing of the event space you are interested in. Inquire about set up and break down times, as well as any additional costs or restrictions that may apply.
Accommodation: If your venue offers guest rooms, inquire about complimentary or discounted rates for you and your guests. If there are a limited number of bedrooms available, be sure to pre-book for key family and wedding party members and confirm the booking process for guests to access discounted rates.
Food and Drinks: Understanding the style of food served at your venue is essential. Ask if there are any additional costs or conditions for items like cake cutting or bringing your dessert buffet. If you are looking for a particular cuisine, confirm that your venue can accommodate it, or if you're allowed to bring in an external caterer. Many venues will have a preferred list, so do check this out before you book!
Suppliers: Your wedding suppliers play a crucial role in your special day. Confirm with your venue if they have any specific supplier requirements as some venues are very strict and only allow vetted suppliers, while others may only require a certain level of insurance. Knowing these requirements can help ensure a seamless experience.
I hope these top 5 tips help you find the perfect wedding venue for your big day. Happy planning!
