The Best Questions for your Venue pre-wedding meeting

jlu, on May 25, 2012 at 2:53 PM Posted in Planning 0 7

Girls (and guys?), I need your help figuring out all the questions I need to ask my reception/ceremony venue POC when I finally get to go do a tasting next month. It's a small wedding at a small cafe. It's been difficult to get a hold of them and I don't want to seem like bridezilla trying to contact them, so help me come up with an organized list of questions to ask when I meet up with them. here's what i Have so far:

1. General Layout/How many guests per table (8, 10)?

2. Double check there is a power outlet for the photobooth

3. Double check there is a table for the DJ

3. Double check other tables will be there - gifts, cake, escort cards, guestbook, etc.

    If you plan on having any candles make sure you check what their policy is. My venue says no open flames. Smiley sad

    When can you decorate (they may have a doing the night before)

    can you bring in things the day before

    what time

    who cleans up

    do they let you take home leftovers

    do they provide table numbers (if you need them)

    Something that I wish that I had asked is what their policy is for decorations (hanging items) I wanted to have paper lanterns over the dance floor and found out that I can't hang anything.

    Find out how late the reception can run, I am getting married at a resort so we have to shut down by 11/11:30 out of respect to the guests.
