Questions to ask at your wedding venue
Following on from my article about Choosing a Reception Venue, I thought it would be handy for you to have ready a list of questions to ask at your wedding venue viewing appointments. Some of these questions may not apply to your wedding plans – however, it might be useful to download and print out these questions to bring along to your viewing.
- How many can the function room hold for day guests and extra evening guests?
- How many weddings do you host in one day?
- Do you offer wedding packages and what do they include (Room hire, centrepieces, chair covers etc)?
- If I want to have my ceremony here, are you licenced?
- Is there a room hire charge for this?
- Where would the ceremony take place?
- Can it be held outside? (although in Northern Ireland that all depends on the weather)
