Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re probably aware of our Venue Showcase. However, whether you’re planning a local wedding or a destination affair, there are crucial questions you must ask before finalising the deal or putting down a deposit. While many of us focus solely on the location and budget, there are numerous other factors to consider to avoid unexpected expenses or missing key elements on your big day.
What is the availability of the venue on my desired wedding date?
Before falling in love with a venue, it’s essential to confirm its availability on your preferred wedding date. Some popular venues book up months or even years in advance, so it’s crucial to check availability early in your planning process.
What is the capacity of the venue and does it accommodate my guest list?
Make sure the venue can comfortably accommodate your guest list. Inquire about the maximum capacity of the venue for both the ceremony and reception to ensure there’s enough space for all your loved ones to celebrate with you.
Are fire ceremonies allowed inside the venue?
For couples planning a traditional wedding, it’s important to note that certain venues may not allow ceremonies with fire pits. As a result, you may need to relocate your ceremony to a different location.
What is the deposit required and what’s the cancellation policy?
It’s advisable to familiarise yourself with the venue’s cancellation policy ahead of time in case of unforeseen circumstances. Equally important is understanding the deposit requirement – whether it’s refundable – and the payment schedule for the remaining balance. Clarify whether the payment is due all at once or in instalments, and inquire about your preferred mode of payment.
What is the backup plan for inclement weather?
If you’re planning an outdoor wedding, it’s essential to have a backup plan in case of rain or other inclement weather. Inquire about the venue’s contingency plans and whether they offer indoor spaces or tents as alternatives.
By asking these five questions before finalising your wedding venue, you can ensure that you’re making an informed decision that will help create the perfect backdrop for your special day.
