Hockwold Hall: Planning your wedding

What questions should I ask a potential wedding venue?

When choosing a wedding venue, it is important to ask the right questions to ensure it is the right fit for your big day. Here are 7 good questions to ask:

  1. What is the capacity of the venue? This is important to know if you want to make sure all your guests can comfortably fit into the venue.
  2. Are there any restrictions on decorations or vendors? Find out if the venue has any restrictions on decor, catering, music, or other aspects of your wedding to ensure you can create the wedding of your dreams.
  3. What is included in the rental fee? Make sure you understand what is included in the rental fee, such as tables, chairs, lighting, etc. so you don’t end up paying for items you thought were included.
  4. Are there any additional fees or charges? Ask about any additional fees or charges, such as a cleaning fee, overtime fee, or parking fee, to avoid any surprises later on.
  5. What is the policy on rain or inclement weather? It is important to know what the venue’s policy is on inclement weather and whether they have indoor backup options in case of rain or other weather-related issues.
  6. Is there a time limit for the event and when does the venue need to be cleared out?
  7. What kind of lighting and sound equipment is available, and is there an additional fee for their use?

By asking these questions, you will have a better understanding of the venue’s capabilities and limitations and can make an informed decision about whether it is the right venue for your wedding.
