Advice needed on questions to ask for final meeting with venue before Wedding day?

Sylphier, on May 15, 2017 at 6:08 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5

Alright guys, I have my 30 day final sit down meeting with my venue tomorrow and I have a little final checklist they go through with me on what I need and what time everyone shows up, etc. But I wanted to know if there were any questions you asked/wish you asked your venue at your final meeting with them before the wedding? I want to make sure all my bases are covered and their final checklist looks like it gets everything but I'm forgetful/don't go to many weddings so I just figured input from you all would be great.

    What my venue has on the list -

    Assign a contact person for the wedding day that is not me

    What time all vendors will show up and all their contact info

    How many tables/what kinds we need and what they are for

    How long the venue coordinator will be needed

    If we need help decorating/need the venue to do some or all of it

    Bridal party arrival times

    Parking

    Rehearsal schedule

    If a receiving line is planned

    If we are planning to have a seating chart and the webpage to make one digitally for them

    How many guests/chairs

    If we are planning a photo booth

    And it also has a reminder of venue terms and what will cause loss of security deposit, etc

    If you are doing a plated dinner you'll need to let them know what symbol to look for on their place card. If you are doing buffet, do they have lines going down both sides, or do they have staff to help portion the food? Also ask them where they usually keep the gift table and make sure it is away from any exits. Do they take care of saving cake for you (the top tier, etc) for you to take with you? What are their policies on cleaning up the decor, and do they help with it?

    @Earias my catering isn't through my venue but the clean up and where they place stuff are good ones! I'll add those to my list.
