Here are some of the top questions to ask a potential wedding venue when touring.
If you’re currently in the process of searching for a wedding venue, then you may be wondering what questions you should be asking when meeting with staff. The good news is that you’ve come to the right place! In this blog, we’re going to go over some of the top questions that you should ask when taking a tour of a potential venue.
Keep in mind that everyone’s situation is different and this is in no way a comprehensive list. Instead, you can use this list as a starting point to help make sure that you’re on the right track and you’re not missing any important questions.
Let’s get started and go over some of the most important things to ask when considering a specific venue.
Can we see a potential contract?
Looking at a venue’s contract can provide you with a lot of important information. If a venue isn’t able to provide you with a contract, then that’s a major red flag. Contracts make sure that everyone knows what to expect, so they’re very important to have.
Do you allow hard alcohol?
Some venues allow hard alcohol, while others do not. Having a clear understanding of what’s allowed at a venue can help you narrow down your choices and make sure that the final selection is right for you.
At Spring Lake Events, we ask that our couples hold off on serving hard alcohol. If you have any questions about this, don’t hesitate to reach out to us today by sending us a message through our website or giving us a call.
What are clean up procedures like?
Will the venue be providing any clean up help? Is there a time that you need to be cleaned up by? Asking these questions is important because it can give you a better understanding of how your wedding day timeline might go and what would be required of you if you choose that specific venue.
Do you have a list of vendors you work with?
Being able to use a venue’s list of vendors can be extremely helpful. With that being said, it’s not a major red flag if a venue doesn’t immediately have a list for you to look at. Some venues prioritize vendor relationships, while others focus on other aspects.
How many weddings have you held here?
Getting a general idea of a venue’s experience can point you in the right direction and give you a better understanding of their level of comfortability with hosting weddings.
Where are some of the best photo spots?
Being able to take a look at some of the best photo spots can help you plan ahead and picture what your wedding day might be like at that venue. You can even snap a few quick pictures of the photo spots you’re shown in order to show them to your photographer and plan a shot list ahead of your big day.
