Before you sign a contract, it’s important to understand what’s included — and what isn’t. Every venue operates a little differently, and asking the right questions early will save you time, money, and stress later in the planning process.
Here are a few key questions we recommend asking during your venue tour or initial call:
1. Are linens, tableware, and seating included? These items can add up quickly if you need to rent them separately. Clarify what’s provided and what your planner or rental company will need to source.
2. Is there an AV system, furniture, lighting, or vendor coordination provided? Some venues offer built-in lighting, speakers, or preferred vendor management, while others leave that entirely to your team. Knowing this helps you plan for setup, logistics, and budget.
3. What gratuity or service charges are automatically added to the base cost? These can range from 15–20% and make a significant difference when comparing venues side by side.
4. Is a tour or menu tasting included? For food-focused venues, tastings are often part of the experience and can be a great way to envision your menu and flow.
5. When do you receive access to the space for setup and teardown? Early access can drastically reduce your coordination costs, while tight timelines may require additional help from your planner or setup crew.
6. Are there additional costs for using specific spaces (like the on-site tent or conservatory)? Some venues have seasonal or add-on fees for tents, indoor ceremony rooms, or late-night extensions.
7. What is the typical rain plan? Ask about backup ceremony locations and whether there’s flexibility depending on your planning team’s capabilities or the forecast closer to the day.
8. Does the venue have any airconditioned spaces? If you’re getting married in the middle of the summer this is no joke, especially if you intend to invite any guests who might benefit from a cool, shaded space to relax (think elderly, children).
9. What are the local noise curfews? Are there restrictions on outdoor sound after 10 or 11 p.m.? Can we move inside if needed? Many venues have outdoor noise restrictions in place, if late-night partying is part of your plan, be sure to clarify where and how this happens.
These questions not only help clarify pricing — they’ll also show your venue team that you’re organized and realistic about logistics, which makes collaboration much smoother.
