The questions to ask before you fall in love with a space, from capacity and flow to the hidden costs.

It is easy to fall for a venue in a single photograph. Before you sign, make sure the space works for the celebration you are actually planning.

Start with your guest count

Know your approximate numbers first. A room that looks magical with eighty guests can feel cramped with one hundred and forty.

Walk the day in order

Ask where guests arrive, where the ceremony happens, where drinks are served, and how everyone moves between spaces. Good flow keeps energy high.

Ask about everything included

  • Exclusive use and timing restrictions

  • Approved supplier lists

  • Wet-weather options

  • Noise curfews and end times
