Choosing a Wedding Venue

Unless you've always dreamed of having your wedding in your parents backyard, you shouldn't choose your reception venue until you've decided how many guests you plan on having and what your budget is. (Your reception costs might include space rental, food and beverage costs, tips and taxes, administrative fees, overtime fees, parking etc.) Once you know these things, and you have a few places in mind that fit that budget and size, then it's a question of balancing a number of different considerations, including the following:

• What's the decor like?
• Does it fit your wedding style?
• Will you have to spend a lot of money on flowers and decorations to make it beautiful?
• Do they have an in-house caterer, and do you like that food?
• While an in-house caterer makes things easier, and usually cheaper, sometimes the hall can be beautiful, but the food ho-hum.
• Do they have a limitation on which caterers you can use?
• Do they have adequate coat check and bathroom facilities?
• Do they have a liquor license?
• Will they allow you to bring your own liquor? (This is usually cheaper, even with the customary corkage fee.)
• What's the cancellation policy?
• Is there a payment schedule? What kind of deposits are required?
• Are there any hidden costs?
• Before you sign the contract, read it carefully.
• What are the overtime charges?
• Is there room for a band and/or dancing?
• Is there a space for the bride and groom to change and/or relax?
• Where will you take photographs?
• Who will be supervising and troubleshooting before the day of your wedding?
• Who will be supervising and troubleshooting on the day of your wedding?
• Can you meet them now?
• Where can your guests park? Are there extra fees for parking? Do they have valet parking?
• Especially if you're considering museums or private clubs, what are the limitations on what decor you can have?
• If its an outdoor location, do they have any backup plans for rainy days? If not, is there a place that you can put up a tent?
