Questions to Ask to a Wedding Venue
One of the first and most crucial chores on your to-do list is to find a wedding location. It's critical to complete this major assignment as soon as possible in order to obtain your preferred location. Your reception site will set the tone for your wedding, and it will influence many of the decisions you make moving forward.
You're ready to start exploring potential wedding venues if you have a clear vision for your wedding day, a budget, and a general estimate of the number of guests you'd want to invite!
What to Ask Your Wedding Venue Budget: The Basics
Unless you're willing to reduce anything else, you may have to move on if the full venue fee doesn't fit inside your budget.
Date
If you have a special date on mind and aren't willing to move it, the venue should have it available; otherwise, you'll have to keep exploring.
Style
This is the most obvious yes or no decision you'll have to make about your venue: If you're looking for a rustic, romantic setting but are touring a slick, modern loft, you'll most likely strike it off your list right away.
What is the maximum capacity of the space?
This has a direct bearing on your guest list and, as a result, your budget. If you like the place but it only seats 75 people comfortably and your guest list is closer to 200 (including all your pros!), you'll have to choose between having the venue and having a large guest list.
What is the distance from the ceremony place via foot or car?
You'll need to know how long it will take your guests to get from the ceremony to the reception if you aren't providing transportation. Also, inquire about traffic conditions around the time of your wedding to guarantee that your guests will not be trapped in traffic for an hour.
Is the venue close to guest hotels, and if so, do you have any recommendations?
If visitors must travel a great distance from their hotel to the venue and return (especially if transportation is not provided), this may influence your decision to book the venue. Anything longer than 30 minutes is usually a stretch, especially if you're throwing an after-party with plenty of alcohol, which takes us to the following topic.
Is it possible to take public transportation?
Why are you curious? You'll want to know if the venue is convenient to public transportation or if cab or driver services are available in the neighborhood for your guests. After all, no one should operate a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol.
What services do you have to offer?
You'll want to know if the venue offers any all-inclusive packages (if any special dietary restrictions can be accommodated), if any rentals are included (such as linens, microphones, and a full waitstaff), and if an on-site manager can assist you. Don't expect everything to be included.
