That should be on the FIRST page!

travel agents, beauty salons.

It's a sweet idea. Wish someone had done that for me.

I was just about to say one of those monthly breakdowns of what should be done but if you do that you should base it on the LI timeline not the general timeline since vendors get booked so quickly.

Facility Questionerre:
Check List:
1. Room Dimensions
2. Max # of people room holds

3. Tables – round, oval, square, rectangle, octagonal (round tables are easier for people to speak with each other, but most places offer rectangle…)
4. # of persons per table
5. How many affairs at a time
6. Wait staff per table
7. Recommended Gratuity – above and beyond the included tax & tip
8. Valet Parking – included?
9. Vendor Dinner Price – ½ price of guests or set amount?
10. Do Vendors need insurance?
11. Bridal Suite – size, look

12. Bathrooms – how do they look? Where are they located (near reception room?)
13. Renovations Planned? – expected date of start/finish
14. Photo’s of facility in different seasons
15. Menu Options – packages, # of courses, additions, substitutions
16. Wedding Cake – included?
17. Flowers – included? For cocktail hour or reception?
18. Place Cards / Direction Cards – provided?
19. Installments/Payment Plans – do you send courtesy reminder?
20. Is there an affair before ours – time?

21. Type of Payments requires / schedule of payments - Cash, Credit Card, Check
22. Meeting the Maitre’d and Chef
23. Once we choose, discount or free dinner for us and parents
24. Any Tasting Events or Showcases before we book
25. Cake Cutting Service Charge?

26. Smoking room - available? Where is the outside compared to where reception is? You don’t want all your guests hanging outside all night if it’s far away
27. Recommendations / Advice from Event Planner
