3 things you must consider before booking your wedding venue:
One of the best days of your life is when the love of your life gets down on one knee and asks you to marry them. The second best day is when you decide where you will say your vows in front of your friends and family. Although this time is super exciting, and you’re eager to make a quick decision, you MUST ask these questions before you commit to a venue.
1.When is the wedding?
Most places book far in advance, so once you know the date that you will be getting married, it’s crucial that you start touring wedding venues so you can secure the date. Depending on when you are thinking of getting married, some places even offer special discounts. For instance, Villa Parker in Parker, Colorado will offer $500 off when you book at a certain time, or they’ll throw in free champagne. When booking, it never hurts to ask if they have any special deals going on. This is the biggest thing to consider before booking.

2. What does the price include?
Once you’ve decided on a budget, and you’ve found a couple venues or the venue you’d like to get married at, it’s a must that you ask about what exactly the price includes. You might find that the place you originally loved is actually very pricey for what you’re getting. Another place may be comparable in price, but you have access to the bridal suite and the venue for much longer. Make sure you know exactly what benefits you’re paying for and what to consider before booking.

3. All the little details you can’t forget!
As exciting as it is to book your wedding venue, there are many random things to consider before sealing the deal. For instance, does the venue have a caterer that you have to use, or are you able to choose your own? Are there decoration limitations? What time can the vendors come in and set up? Are there any other weddings on that day? What does the parking situation look like? Is there a valet service? Is there a coat check? Are you responsible for cleaning up afterwards? There are so many things to consider when it comes time for your wedding. As eager and happy as you may be, please take into consideration all the little details you might forget.
