Rules on booking your wedding or quince venue:

Rule #1- Understand The Logistics

With all the emotion and excitement that comes with the early stages of wedding or quince planning it is very easy for couples to see a venue, get excited and sign the contract. While it may seem ho-hum, remembering to consider the logistics of the venue can actually save you big headaches later on. Everything from how many guest you will need the venue to fit, the season and time of day you want to have your wedding or quince and any special accommodations your guests might need.

Here's a big question: should you pick the venue before having a guest list or should you get a guest count and then pick the venue? It is not easy to have a guest count two weeks into the wedding or quince planning process but if you don't have an idea of what size wedding or quince you are going to have you will not be able to pick a venue confidently. No firm count is needed to look at venues, but one of the first questions the venue will ask is how many guest you'll be hosting. Having a rough idea of your wedding or quince size -- whether it be 60, 125 or 300 guests -- will allow you to cross venues off your list without having to go look at them in person since almost every venue lists their facility size online. Searching an online venue on our website will allow you to save time and not have to call, email or track down basic information about a venue.

Couples and quinces probably have a good idea of the season they want to have the event, which can also help to shape the venue search. But don't forget: many venues might showcase images from a beautiful season like summer on their websites, so make sure you ask to see pictures from the season you intend to have your event. If the venue holds weddings or quinces in all seasons, make sure you ask questions such as, "Is there heat and air conditioning? Is there a 'backup' space if all of a sudden it starts to rain? If there is a good lighting so that our guests will be able to see as the evening goes on?"

Rule #2 - Visit The Venue At The Time Of Day Your Wedding or Quince Will Be

Saturday is still the most popular to go out and visit venues and since most events happen on a Saturday it only makes sense. But one of my most important rules is to go back for a second visit at the very time of day your wedding or quince will be held. If you visit a venue at 10 a.m. on Saturday morning and you are planning to have your wedding or quince at 5 p.m. in the evening, you probably won't be getting the same view of the venue. It only seems logical to be able to see the venue at the very time of day you will be hosting your wedding or quince but it is something that, most of the time, you will need to ask for. Everything from how the light floods into the space, to if a cold draft sweeps through the hallway can help you figure out if this is the venue you want to spend your money on. Visiting the venue is also the perfect time to bring with you your wedding or quince planner or coordinator and have them take a look. Oftentimes those wedding or quince professionals have a different take of a venue and might offer some good advice.

Rule # 3 - Find Out If The Venue Is Full Service Or Not

There really are two very different types of wedding venues, full service and not full service. A full service wedding venue most of the time offers everything from table and chair rentals, to linens and catering supplies, while a non-full service venue most of the time only offers you the space and it is up to you to fill in the rest. This means you will be responsible for booking all of the vendors for the wedding or quince day. Either way, some venues have required vendors that they want you to work with, so that is something to figure out before you the book space. Working with venue-required vendors such as caters, rental companies, and event designers does not give you the option of "shopping" around and finding a quote that meets your budget.

Rule #4 - Decide On Your Wedding or Quince Style & Feel

A romantic vineyard, an urban industrial loft, an elegant barn, all of these spaces sound appealing when planning a wedding. But just like its not easy to fit a square peg into a round hole, it is not easy to plan a style-specific wedding or quince at all venues. Taking into account what style wedding or quince you want will help you choose the venues you need to visit. If a modern minimalist wedding or quince is what you have your sights set on, you might want stay clear of any country charm venues. Many people think that they don't need to decide on a wedding or quince style early on, but we think it is one of the most important decisions because you might be able to save on decorations and decor if you select a venue that suits your wedding or quince day style.

Rule # 5 - Ask, Ask & Ask Again

Making a list and asking all the questions you have about a venue is important but not as important as asking that same question to multiple people associated with the venue. Depending on who you are dealing with and what their role is at the venue you might get different answers, so make sure you ask your questions to everyone -- from the catering manager, to the business manager, to the day-of coordinator. Important questions that you might not think to ask are, "How many weddings or quinces are held here in one a day? Who will be here helping me the actual day of the wedding or quince? Do you have any construction or landscape changes coming up before my wedding or quince? Do you anticipate any changes to the venue before the wedding or quince day?" Just when you think you have asked enough questions, ask again and then of course get everything in writing!
