We found a venue, What questions to ask?


Recommended Posts

Hi ladies, so right now i'm planning my California wedding from Ohio until I move there in September. We found a venue that fits our budget & am super excited. My Fiance who lives in Cali is going to look at  it next week, What questions should we ask? I was so excited to find something within our budget of 5000, that i haven't thought any further after. thanks for your help!

I think the main thing is whats included with it.  Sometimes the venue is just the venue and sometimes they provide other things like linens, food, alcohol, centerpieces ect.  Also, its good to know cancellation policies (just incase!), and other things in regards to a DJ, caterer, cake ect.

Here is a checklist you could use:

 

1. Space - will it fit other things, apart from wedding guests, table and chairs.

2. Catering - in-house or outside, styles of menu

3. Decors - appropriate decorations to suit your wedding theme

4. Do they have proper liquor license, can you bring in your own booze without having to pay extra

5. Adequate coat check, parking, restrooms, etc

6. Will the venue be exclusively yours for the day?

7. Can you bring: your own photographer, videographer, DJ, bands, etc. Sometimes the venue has a tie up with in-house vendors and you might be forced to use them.

8. Does the venue have changing rooms, baby care rooms.

9. What does the rental cost include: does that cost account for overtime charges, decorations, cleaning up, etc

10. If the venue is outdoors, is there a plan B location in case of rains

11. Payment schedule: onetime down payment or instalments

12. Cancellation charges

 

I guess, this should be enough to trigger some questions of your own. Happy planning!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
