When booking a private event venue for your wedding, the venue chosen will have a significant impact on the logistics of your wedding. To make sure the venue you like will work well, ask these five questions before booking.
How Many People Can the Venue Hold?'
First, ensure that the venue is large enough to hold all of the guests whom you'd like to invite. No other factors about a venue matter unless you can invite all the people you want to be there on your special day.
Of course, choosing a sufficiently large venue requires knowing how many people you'd like at your wedding. You don't need a finalize guest list when beginning to look at venues, but you should have an approximate number of people you'd like to invite.
Whatever venue you choose should hold your approximate number plus a few more. That way, there's room for another if someone complains they aren't invited or you realize you forgot to count your bridal party.
Is Your Facility Handicapped Accessible?
How important this question is depends largely on who you want to attend your wedding. If there's a handicapped member whom you absolutely want to be there, you need to find a place that has handicapped accessible.
Even if no one needs such access, though, you should still be aware whether the place is handicapped access so that you can share this information with your guests. A few might not be officially handicapped but still need some help with mobility, and they'll want to know what sort of facilities to expect.
Where Are the Restrooms Located?
If you're looking at a remote private event venue, such as a secluded waterfront park, find out where the restrooms are. Check how far the walk is, and see whether it can be done in heels. The bride and many other women will probably be wearing heels, and they'd prefer an easy walk on pavement or cement to a nearby restroom.
Is Alcohol Permitted on the Premises?
Unless you intend to have an alcohol-free wedding, ask up front whether beer, wine, and liquor are permitted at the private event venue. Some religious venues and parks may have prohibitions against alcohol, and you don't want to find out that your beverage menu breaks the rules on the day of your celebration.
If alcohol is prohibited, there may be suitable alternative beverages you can serve. For example, non-alcoholic sparkling cider can be used as a substitute for champagne.
