Looking at Venues for the 1st time!!!

Thanks!

The below list of questions is a bit much... I suggest look through the questions and write down the ones that relate to you and your wedding.

Take pictures while your there to help you remember later.

What dates are available in the month I’m considering?

Find out prices for different times of the day/days of the week.

How many people can this location accommodate?

What the minimum is?/maximum?

How much is the deposit, when is it due, and is it refundable? What’s the payment plan for the entire bill?

Can I hold my ceremony here, too? Is there an additional charge? Is the ceremony site close to the reception site? Is there a bride’s changing area? How much time is allocated for the rehearsal?

What’s the cancellation policy? NOTE: Some places will refund most of your deposit if you cancel far enough in advance (often 60 days), since there’s still a chance they can rent the space. After a certain date, though, you may not be able to get a refund—at least not a full one).

Are there any other weddings on the same day? Worth asking if you don’t want to share the spotlight.

How early can you get there to take pics?

What happens if your guests get there early?

What is the service charge?

Do vendors eat free? 1/2 price?

Price for kids?

What type of liquor? (top shelf?)

Can we do a food tasting prior to finalizing our menu selection? If so, is there an additional charge?

Do you have a list of recommended vendors?

Do they provide decorations? Find out if they provide any decorations you can use for the reception.

When must the reception end? Ask what time the evening party must end. Some venues can shut down earlier than you may want and the lights suddenly going up will come as a bit of a shock!

What extras can be added on?

What they can throw in for you?

And most important-
NEGOGIATE!!!! Alot of halls will go down in price!!

def make a list of PROS and CONS so u can clearly see what's convenient and what's not...good look and have lots of fun!

good luck!!!
