If you’re not sure what you should be asking while touring venues for your big day, here are some questions to add to your list.

 

If you’ve never gotten married before, then touring wedding venues might seem overwhelming. There are so many different venues to choose from and it can be hard to narrow down all your different options. One of the best things to do is set up a few different tours when you have a couple potential venues in mind.

 

These tours are a great opportunity to ask any questions that you have and get a feel for the space. There’s only so much information that you can get from photos online, so don’t be afraid to make some appointments and physically visit a space before you commit to it.

 

Touring wedding venues can be very fun, but it also can be a little anxiety-inducing if you don’t know what to look for questions to ask. The good news is that we put together this blog post to guide your tours, so you can know exactly what questions you should be asking. Take a look at the following questions and make notes of them so that you can have them on hand when you visit a potential venue and want to see if it’s the right choice for your big day.

What is your contract like?

All reputable and trustworthy wedding venues will have a contract that you’ll need to sign. It’s important that you know what that contract entails, so that you can make sure that you’re comfortable with it and that it’s realistic for your wedding day. Make sure that you look at the details in the contract, as there may be some things that you won’t want to miss and could end up costing you if they’re overlooked.

What alcohol is allowed?

Some venues allow hard alcohol while others ask that you pass on this. If you’re planning on providing drinks for your guest, then it’s important that you make sure that the venue allows for it. Breaching the contract could have negative consequences so it’s important that you think about this ahead of time and that you plan your drink menu accordingly.

Do you have any vendors you work with?

Working with a venue’s preferred vendors can be a great way to narrow down your options and make sure that you get a good result. Asking venues if they have a list of vendors that they work with can be a good way to know if they’re the right choice for you and if you’ll be able to assemble a list of helpers for your wedding day that makes sense.

What are your weather options?

If you’re going with an outdoor venue, then it’s important that you know what their weather options are. Some venues provide umbrellas in case of rain or other shelter options and this can be a great way to save money. It’s important that everyone’s on the same page about what will happen if the weather turns on your wedding day, so this is a good question to ask during your tour .
