Questions to ask your venue

Kaysey, on November 8, 2019 at 5:09 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 2

Hey Everyone,

I am having my second walk through with the event coordinator at my venue this coming Thursday and, just like with my first meeting with the coordinator at my venue, I have a list of questions for her (I think she hates me, haha). I was wondering if there were any other questions I may be forgetting to ask. Maybe questions that you wish you would've asked or questions that you are planning to ask. The next time I will be at the venue after this Thursday will be the week of the wedding (although I can email/call her before then). Below are the questions I have typed up to ask her.


Is there a place we can store the storage containers that I have all of our wedding decorations in during the wedding? (we think we're just going to put everything in the bridal suite, but I want to make sure that's okay with her)


What would be the plan or setup if the weather does not hold up the day of the ceremony? (she told me the plan but I would rather see it b/c they were setting up for testing when my fiance and I originally toured the venue so we could not fully see the space and what it would look like)


Are we allowed to put small signs up where guests need to turn when arriving for the ceremony? If not, we have a backup plan/direction card we will send out with our invitations


How will our guests be directed the day of the wedding? Are they going to go through the ballroom to get to the ceremony location or is there another way to keep them out of the ballroom prior to the reception starting? - (I'm almost positive there is, but I got so much information on our first visit I forgot)


Where are guests allowed to smoke?


I know there are probably a thousand questions I could ask but this is all I could come up with, haha. Please help!

    Good job asking about inclement weather - a friend of mine learned that lesson the hard way. Smiley cry

    -Does your venue place restrictions or minimums on your contract?

    -What will they provide or do for you?

    -Do they have a list of preferred or recommended vendors?

    Hey Kaysey! How exciting to be meeting your coordinator! What is your venue like?

    I had a look in the Ideas section and came across this article that I think will be helpful to you -
