Embarking on a wedding venue tour is an exciting step in the wedding planning process! After all, most of us only get to do this once in our lifetime! Let's cheers to that! Here's a helpful guide to ensure you make the most of your venue tours:
Schedule Appointments: Research venues ahead of time and try to narrow down by style, size, and budget. Contact the venues you're interested in to schedule appointments for tours. Try to schedule tours on weekdays if possible, as weekends are generally busier for venues with events.
Have Questions Ready: Before your tour, make a list of questions to ask the venue coordinator. These might include questions about capacity, amenities, pricing, available dates, and vendor restrictions.
Envision Your Wedding: As you tour each venue, try to envision how your wedding day would unfold in that space. Consider where the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception would take place, as well as areas for photography and guest mingling. Most venues provide plenty of photos in different areas of the space to assist you!
Check Reviews and References: Research online reviews from couples who have hosted their weddings at the venues you're considering. This can provide valuable insights into the venue's professionalism, level of service and overall experience.
Trust Your Instincts: Ultimately, go with your gut feeling when choosing a wedding venue. The space should feel right and you should feel comfortable with the venue coordinators you toured with. Selecting a place that fits your personal vision and practical needs is very important as you begin your life together as a married couple.
Follow-Up: After your tours, follow up with the venue coordinators to thank them for their time and ask any additional questions that may have come up. If you're ready to book a venue, securing your date as soon as possible is important to ensure availability.
