Choosing the right venue is a crucial step in the wedding planning process, and it is important to ask the right questions to ensure that the venue meets all of your expectations. Here is a checklist of questions to ask the wedding venue before making a decision:

  • What is the maximum capacity of the venue?

  • Is there a backup plan in case of inclement weather?

  • Is the venue available on the date of the wedding?

  • What is the cost of the venue, and what is included in the price (e.g. tables, chairs, linens, lighting, etc.)?

  • Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

  • Is there ample parking for guests?

  • Is there a designated area for the ceremony and reception?

  • Are there any noise or music restrictions at the venue?

  • Is there a kitchen onsite, and if so, is it available for caterers to use?

  • Can the couple visit the venue for a tour before making a decision?

  • Are there any additional fees (e.g. cleaning, security, etc.) that the couple should be aware of?

  • Is the venue flexible with set up and tear down times?

  • Is there a preferred vendor list, and if so, can the couple use vendors outside of the list?

  • Is the venue available for a rehearsal the day before the wedding?

  • Is there a contact person available on the day of the wedding to answer any questions or concerns?
