While your dress may be the most important choice you make for your big day, the wedding venue is a close second. The location you choose will set the mood for you, your partner, and your guests, so it shouldn't be decided on a whim. Asking the right questions is the easiest way to ensure you choose the right place for your event. When touring a venue rental, ask the following questions to help you determine if the location will work for your needs.

3 Questions to Ask When Touring a Wedding Venue

1. What's the Capacity?

Capacity is one of the most important factors you should ask about because the space available needs to match the length of your guest list. At some locations, they offer both indoor and outdoor ceremony and reception options. If the capacity indoors is too small for your event, you may be able to host both the ceremony and reception outside. In such cases, you may consider renting a tent to avoid inclement weather.

2. Who's Responsible for Setup?

It's important to know who's responsible for setup so you can make the correct arrangements ahead of time. Some wedding venues allow their guests to choose if they want it set up for them or if they want to do it themselves, especially when cost and budget are a concern. Regardless of the answer, you'll also want to know the arrangement options for chairs and tables so you can get the finished look that you want.

3. Is On-Site Catering Available?

On-site catering helps streamline the reception process and ensure everything is taken care of because the chef and their team are already familiar with the location and kitchen arrangements. Choosing the wedding venue's catering option can also save you money because you won't have to pay for food transportation costs.
