Questions to Ask a Wedding Venue
The Basics
What dates are available in the month I'm considering?
TIP: Some venues offer a discount for booking an off-season date or a Sunday through Friday wedding.
How many people can this location accommodate?
What is the rental fee and what's included in that price?
How many hours does the rental fee include, and is there an overtime fee if I stay longer? We really like to party.
How much is the deposit, when is it due, and is it refundable?
What's the payment plan for the entire bill? What forms of payment do you accept?
Can I have my ceremony here, too? Is there an additional cost?
Are there changing areas for the bride, groom, and/or wedding party?
Can we have our rehearsal dinner here? What about a morning-after mimosa brunch?
How much time is allocated for the rehearsal?
What's the cancellation policy?
