Getting the most out of your wedding venue tour: 5 questions to ask before deciding!
After you get engaged, one of the first things you’ll want to do is start touring wedding venues. But with so many options, it can be hard to know what questions to ask. To help make your wedding planning a little easier, here are some questions you should ask when touring a wedding venue.
What Is Included in the Cost?
It is essential to know all included costs for renting the venue and any extra charges that might arise. Asking this question upfront will help ensure there are no surprises later on down the line. Some venues include amenities like tables and chairs, catering services, linens, and more in package prices, while others may require you to rent those items separately. It’s also important to ask about any additional fees for setup and cleanup, as these can add up quickly if not accounted for in the initial price quote.

Do You Have Preferred Vendors?
Most venues have preferred vendors they like working with. This means they may already have relationships with caterers, DJs, florists, and other service providers who can make your wedding planning easier. While it's not always necessary to use their recommended vendors, it is worth asking about them regardless, as these vendors will likely have plenty of experience working at the venue, so they will be able to provide valuable insight into how best to use the space compared to someone who has never been there before.
What Is Your Max Capacity?
Before booking a venue, knowing the maximum capacity they can accommodate is important. This will help you determine whether or not the venue is large enough to host all your wedding guests. Villa Parker, a beautiful venue outside of Denver, can host up to 200 people! Whether your wedding is big or small, this is an awesome venue.
What Is the Weather Plan?
If your wedding is outdoors or in a semi-outdoor area, it's essential to ask about the venue's plan for inclement weather. Some venues may have indoor spaces available in case of rain or offer tents as a backup option. Knowing how the venue will handle bad weather ahead of time can help you plan accordingly and avoid any surprises on your big day. Luckily, Villa Parker has beautiful spaces inside and out. If the rain starts to fall, you will be seamlessly moved indoors to continue your special celebration.

Are There Any Time Restrictions?
Understanding any time restrictions associated with your chosen venue is important, as these could impact your plans for the big day. Many venues have set times for events, such as an 11 p.m. curfew or an 8 a.m. start time, which could limit your ability to customize certain aspects of your wedding day schedule (i.e., music choices or decorations). Understanding any time restrictions up front will help ensure that all of your plans run smoothly on the day itself. Villa Parker allows weekend wedding couples to stay onsite for 12 hours, while weekday weddings have 10 hours. They only hold one event each day, so you will have plenty of time and space to fully enjoy your day, as you should.
Touring potential wedding venues is one of the most exciting parts of planning a wedding but it can also be daunting if you don't know what questions to ask beforehand. These questions are a great place to start when planning the perfect wedding. With that in mind, happy hunting!
