Some Must Ask Questions before Booking a Wedding Venue

Banquet halls are the ideal place to host a wedding ceremony, parties and numerous other types of social events. Although in the recent past a large growth in the number of hotels, restaurants and clubs has been witnessed but people have still shown preference to the unique, modern and fabulously built banquet halls to organize their functions and events. Now depending on the suitable location and on the size of the banquet hall, people opt for a venue.

So, there are basically a number of factors that one needs to carefully bear in mind before zeroing any venue option for a wedding or family function or corporate event. This implies that enquiring in the right manner before making the booking for the venue is absolutely crucial. Therefore, here is a list of basic questions which must be positively enquired about prior to making the final payments.

 

1. The Size and the Facilities

One of the foremost factors to be considered is the size of the hall spacious enough to conveniently accommodate the number of guests in the gathering? In case you are planning a large reception / ceremony then you should also ask about the experience of the staff in handling such situations before. Also do look out for an attached room for the bride to change clothes or just freshen up during the ceremony.

2. Date Availability

Never forget to enquire about the date availability of the wedding hall for your planned event date. Since overlapping of the wedding dates is pretty common so to avoid any congestion during booking of the wedding venue, it is essential to check if any hall is available as per your requirements on the desired date.

3. Details of the rules and restrictions

Well a few venues adhere to strict policies related to decoration, catering, bar service etc. So, it is advisable to be well aware of the rules and regulations before signing a contract.

4. Decoration and packages

A majority of banquet halls don't permit third party vendors but rather offer several decoration and catering related packages.

5. Parking and overnight accommodations

This is indeed quite important as most of the guests travel far and wide to attend the event. For maximum convenience ample parking space and overnight accommodation can prove to be effective. A parking attendant who can aid in the process of the guest car parking is certainly a bonus.

6. Bar Service and Liquor

Some restaurants do not serve alcohol which requires the host to make the arrangements.

7. Wedding co-coordinator

More often than not such places have coordinators to smoothly and properly run the show and ensure that all the arrangements are done on time. So, you just need to check out for such a person’s availability on the venue.
