The Questions You Should Ask
Important questions couples wished they'd asked before they booked the wrong venue.
Question #1
How much will my bar tab cost me?
Let the venue walk you through a realistic bar spend based on your guest numbers and drink choices — so there are no surprises later.
Question #2
Look at the details — is the venue actually well-kept?
Check cleanliness, maintenance, and especially the bathrooms. If the small things are looked after, the big day usually is too.
Question #3
What’s the parking really like?
Your guests’ experience starts the moment they arrive. Check how easy parking is and what the venue looks like from the carpark to the entrance.
Question #4
Is everything you see at your visit included?
You may have visited the venue just prior to a wedding, ask the question… what isn’t included that is setup today.
Question #5
Are the menus flexible — and how much food is made in-house?
Ask how many chefs they have onsite and whether menu items are made fresh or brought in.
It gives you a clear sense of food quality and how flexible they can be with dietary requests or personal touches.
