5 Questions to Ask Before Booking Your Wedding Venue

Your venue sets the stage for one of the most important days of your life. Before you fall in love with the look of a space, ask yourself these five essential questions:

1. What’s included in the venue rental?

Some venues offer tables, chairs, lighting, and even décor. Others are more bare-bones. Knowing what’s included helps you plan your budget and avoid surprises.

2. How many guests can the space accommodate comfortably?

Whether you’re hosting 50 or 250 people, make sure the venue suits your guest list—and your vision.

3. Is there a plan for inclement weather?

Especially for outdoor weddings, ask what backup plans are in place. Peace of mind is priceless.

4. Are there restrictions on décor, music, or end times?

Understanding the rules ahead of time keeps your celebration stress-free and in full compliance.

5. How hands-on is the venue team?

A supportive venue staff can make all the difference. Ask about planning help, day-of coordination, and vendor recommendations.

Choosing a venue is more than picking a pretty place—it’s about finding a space where your love story can unfold beautifully.
