Help! I'm starting to meet with venues this week, and I'm not sure what I should be looking or asking for! I know to ask about dates and occupancy and those things, but what about more specific questions?

    What time you are allowed to come into the bridal room ? When is the food tasting ? What do they need you to provide ?

    Ask about their inclement weather policies and procedures. A friend of mine learned that the hard way.

    At all my venue tours I made sure to ask about parking! One of the locations we toured only had enough room for 50 cars, but "there's street parking around town".


    I always came with a list of questions (I used this list and narrowed it down to the ones that were relevant to me and that I couldn't find on their website: https://www.herecomestheguide.com/wedding-party-ideas/detail/questions-to-ask-your-wedding-venue), but I found the venues I felt most comfortable at, the guide answered without me having to ask. Many venues know what they should be focusing on because they know this is (typically) everyone's first time planning a wedding!

    Ask for the fees - are there corkage fees? Cake cutting ? Basically you don't want to be unaware of extra costs and charges.
    Also ask how much time you'd get there

    I bought a wedding planning book from The Knot. It had a section with questions to ask and space to make notes. You could try finding something like that to bring with you.
