Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start looking for a wedding venue?
We recommend starting your venue search 12-18 months before your desired wedding date. Popular venues often book up quickly, especially for peak wedding seasons.
How far in advance to book wedding venue
The general rule of thumb is to book your wedding venue 9-15 months before your desired wedding date. Remember that booking your venue is typically the first major planning step, as it determines your date and location, which affects all other vendor bookings.
What questions should I ask when touring a venue?
Key questions include: What's included in the rental fee? Are there preferred vendors? What's the rain backup plan? What's the maximum capacity? What's the payment schedule? Are there noise restrictions? What's the setup and breakdown time allowed?
How do I determine my venue budget?
Generally, allocate 30-40% of your total wedding budget for the venue and catering. Remember to factor in additional costs like decor, rentals, and service fees.
What's the best time of year to book a wedding venue?
This depends on your location and preferences. Off-season months (typically November-March) often offer better rates and more availability. Peak season (May-October) typically has better weather but higher costs.
How do I know if a venue is the right size?
Your venue should comfortably accommodate your guest count plus space for dining, dancing, and other activities. A good rule of thumb is to allow 25-30 square feet per guest for a seated dinner reception.
