Questions you should ask when viewing your venue.



When viewing your wedding venue there are a few main questions you should ask before you book your date; I have put together a list of my questions. Whether it’s over email or in person these questions will help decide if the venue is right for you.

1) What dates are available?
The big main question, brides to be are booking years in advance now, you should book early to avoid disappointment.

2) Are you licensed for civil ceremonies?
Don’t forget to ask for the local registrar's contact details too, from march 2015 the notice period will be going up from 15 to 28 days.

3) How many people do you cater for?
You should check the venues minimum and maximum numbers to make sure this venue is right for you, sometimes the night and day numbers are different too.

4) Can we bring our own alcohol?
If you can this will save you money but they may charge a fee.

5) Do you have any packages and what are they?
This is a good question especially if you are planning on getting married in a hotel, No matter what package you get make sure you read the fine print.

6) Can we have confetti?
Some churches and buildings do not allow confetti.

7) How many weddings will be held on the date?
You will want to feel like the only bride so if there is another wedding on the date you want, see if there will be any separation in place.

8) What are the rates for different days or times (Friday, Saturday, Sunday; afternoon, evening)?

9) How much of a deposit is required and when does everything need to be payed by?

10) What's the cancellation policy? (Just in case)

11) What time will my guests have to leave the venue?
 You don’t’t want to be sprung with an ending time on the day.
