Venues
Seven questions to ask every venue before you book
Curfews, wet weather plans and the real number of seated guests. The questions we ask on every site visit, and why they matter more than the view.
A venue can look perfect in photos and still make the day hard. These are the questions we ask before any couple signs a contract.
- What time does music have to stop, and is that inside or outside?
- Where does the ceremony move if it rains, and who sets it up?
- How many guests fit seated at round tables and at long tables?
- Which suppliers are required and which are only suggested?
- When can we load in, and when must everything be out?
- Is there step-free access to every space guests will use?
- Who is our contact on the day, and are they on site?
Write the answers down during the visit. Memories of a beautiful room tend to soften the details.
