How to vet the wedding venue
Follow these tips to make sure you find the right spot
Before you make an appointment to check out a potential wedding venue, chances are you’ll do a lot of online recon- naissance: Read every word on their website, click through photos and search for other couples’ reviews of the space. Here’s what you should keep in mind when doing your not-in- person first pass, and the details you can’t know outside of an in-person meeting. First, start your search online. A venue’s website or Facebook page often gives a taste of the location’s style and vibe, and it should include a lot of practical information that can help narrow down the search.
“It’s very important for a bride to know exactly what type of atmosphere and environment she wants for her wedding before looking at venues,” says Kimberly Schlegel Whitman, a Dallas-based party and lifestyle expert and author of “Wedding Inspiration: Ideas & Advice for Your Perfect Wedding” (Gibbs Smith, 2012). “It’s also important to know details like how many guests you’re aiming for, and if you want a venue that allows outside caterers or if you’re happy with the one that takes care of every element of the event for you. These factors help a bride know what to watch out for and what to ignore.”
