What do I need to know again???

On Saturday, Dustin and I (with a little help from my mom) are going to be touring locations to decide where we are going to celebrate our wedding.  Here's a subject where I know I'm going to need some help from you guys.

What do I need to ask them?


My amazing book has a good list of questions we need for guidelines in getting our estimate request.

CEREMONY LOCATION:
  • Are our preferred date and time available?
  • Does the space accommodate our number of guests?
  • Do you provide an officiant?
  • Are chairs or pews provided?
  • Is ceremony music included?
  • What time can we set up our ceremony?
  • If outdoors, is there a Plan B in case of inclement weather?
  • What staff will be on-site on the wedding day?
  • Is there a place fore the bridal party to get dressed? To wait before the service begins?
  • Are there decor or other restrictions?
  • Can we see photos of previous ceremonies?
  • Can unwanted decor be removed? 
  • Can we have a written contract?
RECEPTION LOCATION (not listed above):
  • How many events might take place here at the same time?
  • Do you provide the food and beverages? Service and staff?
  • If not. can we choose whomever we prefer?
  • Are elevators necessary?
  • Do you provide parking services and a coat check?
  • Can we have a written list of any restrictions or regulations?
  • Do you have exclusive vendors, such as florists, or may we choose our own?
  • Could we see photos of the space set up for a reception?
  • Is the room lighting adjustable?
  • Can we move furniture or other items if we want to?
  • Could we see a sample contract?
Any addition tips and questions would be grateful!

  1. How much does it cost? lol... unless that's not a concern. Otherwise, it might be the first question!
