Venue showing? Time and more questions

I'd say that seems about right. We were there around 45 minutes. We had appointments for 3 venues. After we toured the first one, we knew we wanted to get married there so we cancelled the other two.

I think we spend about an hour at each venue we toured, maybe a little longer. We got introduced to whoever was showing us the place and anyone who was at the venue at the time. With the place we booked (a remodeled barn) the owner walked us around the grounds, the barn and gave us a little history lesson on the barn. She also talked about pricing, amenities within, times, contract and every other thing. On top of that I was taking notes and pictures and asking questions. Like you mentioned, when you know, you know. We ended up canceling the other two tours we had because we loved the barn so much.

That was definitely the case for us: we spent over an hour at the one we chose and 30 minutes at the one we didn't.

I would budget an hour at each to be safe. We often had to wait 10-15 minutes for the tour guide at the beginning, then the tour took 30-40 minutes (more for the venues that had multiple location choices, brides' room, etc.). Plus we had tons of questions for each and asked for extra paperwork (sample contracts, floor plans, etc.) which added time.

We definitely spent the least amount of time at the place we picked - haha. We toured a winery where we did a tour, sat down to price things out, and then did a tasting (probably took an hour or a little longer), a second smaller winery where we did a tour and talked to the owner for a little (probably took 45 minutes) and a distillery where we walked through, and talked to the event coordinator briefly (less than 30 minutes). To be fair, we had been to the first winery and the distillery before, and the distillery didn't really have any space that isn't included in their bourbon tour that we've been on several times.

I believe daughter allowed about an hour at each, plus travel time. We visited 10 (yes, ten...) total. The most we did in a day was 5 (a couple of those were very geographically close to each other). She had them scheduled from about 9:30 am until late afternoon (with a good break at lunch time, and we went to dinner at the end of the day). The longest visits were at the venue they ultimately chose (we saw it second, and then went back when they were ready to make a final decision) and at the first couple we visited (when we began, we didn't really know what to expect or what to ask, so it definitely took us longer). By visits 4-6, it was pretty clear if she knew immediately it was a "no," and then it was just awkwardly trying to stay long enough as to not be completely rude....
