Even if you’re head-over-heels in love with a venue, assessing whether the logistics match up is vital. Ask the venue manager about capacity, what time your vendors can gain access, and if there are any restrictions around noise in the area.
You’ll also want to find out precisely what you’re signing up for with your wedding venue package. This includes the catering, vendor inclusions, and any add-on fees. Review our top wedding venue questions to leave no stone unturned.
It’s usually expected that the wedding couple will provide transport options for their guests.
