thank you sooo much!!!!!!!

oh where is Larkfield Manor located that is one hall that is on our list to check out!!

Once you have narrowed down your search, here are some questions to ask before you book a reception site:

-Is there a rental fee and what does it include?

-How many hours does this include?

-Are there restrictions on decorations, flowers, candles, photography, etc.?

-Are any decorations included in your rental fees (e.g. table decorations)?

-Will you need to pay extra for services like bartenders, janitorial, parking attendants, coat-check, etc.

-What about parking and cost?

-Is there a limitation on the number of people the room will hold and for what type of reception - sit down meal, buffet, etc.?

-What time can your guests be admitted and is there adequate space outside the room if they have to wait?

-When can vendors deliver items - cake, decorations, etc?

-Is there a dance floor, how big, any extra charges, and any restrictions on music/musicians/equipment?

-Are there microphones and/or any other equipment provided? At what cost?

-Who will do the catering - must you use theirs?

-Is there adequate kitchen facilities?

-Is there a wedding coordinator or banquet manager who will be in charge and can you meet him/her before the reception?

-Are there restrictions on smoking and is there a separate location set aside for smokers?

-Is there liability insurance in case someone gets injured?

-What is their policy if something gets damaged or broken?

-What is the payment schedule and when do you have to guarantee number of guests?

-Is the deposit refundable and what is the cancellation policy?

-Are there any other activities going on at the same site or any other weddings booked for the same day? If so, do they also have music?
