How do you know if a wedding venue is right for you? ›

The bride and the groom often plan and make decisions together in setting the budget, choosing the date, and the site for the wedding, among other key issues.

Negotiating is also an important part of the wedding venue process. While you're shopping around, let a coordinator know that you are finalizing your choices and want to walk away with the best deal possible. They may be able to find ways to discount the price.

Bride and bridesmaids arrive: Depends/1 hour before the ceremony. This can also depend on if you're getting ready at your venue or if you're getting ready then heading to your venue. A lot of brides will get ready except for their dress, then head to their venue and will put their dress on there.

As an event planner, negotiating contracts with venues, caterers, production companies, and other vendors is one of your most important skills. Your negotiations directly impact your event budget and return on investment. However, for many planners, contract negotiations can seem intimidating.

Pretty views- All your wedding day photos will hopefully not happen inside! I love natural spaces and natural views, so consider what background you'd like in your photos! Adequate parking- You'll want to ask about parking when you go on the venue tour. Does your venue have enough parking for all your guests?
