Are you about to book a reception site? Here are some of the most important questions to ask the booking agency. Each question will give you relevant answers so you can have a broad picture of the site and overall organization. Here are the main points.
- Is the reception site close to public transportation?
Some of your guests may need to use public transportation to get to the place. Buses, taxi vehicles, and rent-a-car services should be available around the area. If there is a walking distance to the specific venue, you should inform those who need to walk to the exact point. Driving and walking distance will decide how much time your guests will spend to reach the location. - What services are included?
You should think about all the nutrition preferences of your guests. Some people are allergic to certain foods, and your menu offer should be tailored to their needs. Include vegetarian dishes, dairy-free foods, and all other types of meals for the guests who need special attention. Drinks are also important. Some reception sites include only limited options so that you can get only wines and beers in the booking package. If you want to expand the list, ask for the full service of all popular drinks. This way, your guests will have a huge choice of favorite beverages. - What is the atmosphere of the place?
If you are a fan of rustic places, you won't be happy to get married in a modern hotel in the city. You'll need some out-of-the-town option with the natural environment. A beautiful vineyard or a rustic house in a village would be a perfect choice for those lovers of nature. On the other hand, fans of high-end places will enjoy restaurants and hotels in cities. No matter which option you choose, there are also other things to consider. Linens, tables, chairs, and silverware will give a unique tone to the place so you should pay attention to all the details at the venue. - How much are the costs?
This question arises every time you plan the budget. A larger tent or a fancier food list will cost money, and you should be aware of all the related costs. It is good to plan and come up with the list before you visit the booking agency. They will tell you a specified price which is always a subject of change. Trimming down the list or choosing a more affordable option will affect the overall spending budget. Go for the details that matter, like the size of the venue and the whole atmosphere of the place, and be less demanding when it comes to smaller details, like colors of the linens and decoration. - Will each guest be satisfied with the venue?
Count every single guest and get into their shoes. Look around and check if there are hotels or good accommodation options. Be aware of transportation. Walk around the venue and see if there are stairs, halls, and open areas. Feel the atmosphere of the place and see how to add some personal touch, so that each guest can feel completely comfortable.
Feel free to ask all the questions that interest you, because some small detail could make a huge difference and transform a "just a regular wedding" into a fantastic event that your guests will remember for a long time.
