Catering

There is no denying that the favorite part of any wedding is the food. Well, that and the dressing-up. An efficient venue must have a top-notch catering facility that can take care of all your desires. It is preferred that the venue itself provide a catering facility. But in case you have a catering service in mind, do go for it. Keep in mind that if the venue does not offer its own catering service, one should enquire about the kitchen facilities, tableware, and serveware. These are key aspects of any wedding, as presentation is a priority. If the venue does offer catering, then enquire about the menu, alcohol, and cocktail hour. Also, ask if they provide tastings so that you can make the best decisions.

Staff and Assistance

A successful wedding always has a hardworking, well-trained, and courteous staff who vow to assist you and ensure that every detail is carried out with utmost care and perfection. When choosing the right venue for the biggest day of your life, keep in mind that the staff plays a major role in ensuring the best wedding experience. Ask the venue if they provide a wedding coordinator or whether there is someone who will be in charge of running things on the big day. There is absolutely no doubt that a task as stressful as wedding planning needs assistance. It would be a bonus if the venue provided you with an event coordinator as it would most definitely lift a huge burden off your hands.

Guest Accommodation

Whether you are planning a grand destination wedding or an intimate subtle wedding with your loved ones, guest accommodation must always be prioritized. Even if it is just the family of the bride and groom who would be staying over, enquire how many rooms are available in the venue and what the prices are. Make sure to visit the rooms and check if they are well-furnished and comfortable. Nothing is as important as a good night’s sleep after a long hard day of planning and celebrating. It is also important to ask if the venue provides facilities like  taxi on call and a doctor on call in case of emergencies. A few of the other things that need to be considered are accessibility for disabled guests and baby changing facilities for convenience purposes.

Decor

A beautiful and memorable wedding should sure look the part. Whatever your tastes may be, whether it is a themed wedding or a royal extravaganza, the decor is what brings it all together and adds a zing to any wedding ceremony. Hence, the first thing you should consider while choosing a venue would be to ask them about their decor policy. Questions related to availability and chairs and tables, lighting, fireworks, lawn games, carriages, etc must be asked beforehand in order to avoid any kind of confusion that may arise. Enquire if the venue provides decorators or if they allow outside decorators. The smallest details can make the biggest difference, so keep yourself updated with the latest trends and communicate your preference clearly to the venue, so that they may do the needful.
