Finding the Perfect Venue – Your final choice

Our final blog this week gives you the last few pieces of information you need to know to make the right decision when choosing your venue. Next week we will feature a new venue we found in our local area. First of all here is the rest of the advice you need to make the perfect choice.

So far we have covered how to search for the venue and what to ask and think about before you decide if its right for you.

Before making the final decision here are a few questions you must ask before you sign the contract.

• Will there be more than one wedding on the day? If so how do the venue manage this?
• Are there any restrictions on entertainment, such as allowing chocolate fountains, fireworks, confetti or candles?
• What time will the evening end and what time is last orders at the bar?
• If exclusive use is offered confirm the start and end times.
• Is there an additional charge if your guest list should fall below the minimum numbers?
• Is there wheel chair access for disabled guests?
• Are there are any structural upgrades or decorating being planned? If so when are they being done? and what are they?
• Are there any restrictions on where you can take photographs?
• Finally check and read through the paperwork and contract before signing anything.
• Check the cancellation policy.

Checking the details will ensure you have the perfect venue without hidden costs or surprises. Most of all you must feel comfortable and have a good relationship with the venue staff. One last word of advice, if you are not fully satisfied or your instincts tell you that something is wrong walk away.

I hope this gives you some insight into choosing your perfect venue. If you do need help you can always use our venue sourcing service. Call or contact us to see what we can offer.
