I'm sooooooooo excited! Tomorrow (well actually today) I put my deposit on my reception and venue! But I wanna make sure that before I sign the contract I make sure I ask all the right questions! So ladies, I need your help! What types of questions should I ask and what are some things that may be included or banned that I should be aware of? I'm just super duper excited because once I secure this, there's no going back!
I suggest you make sure what's included in the price, how many hours do you have, when can vendors come in to set-up, can you have outside vendors, can you have alcohol (are there any time constraints)? That's all I can think of right now....I hope that helps :-)
-Total cost and a LINE ITEM breakdown of what's included.
-Amount of deposit and when it was paid.
-Balance outstanding and when it's due (a payment schedule).
-Exact date and time of your wedding.
-Exact location of your wedding (e.g., "In Main Gallery," "In Presidential Ballroom").
-Detailed list of everything the place will provide (tables, chairs, linens, amplifiers, whatever).
-The name of the site representative who will be on hand on your wedding day, and the name of an acceptable substitute.
-Proof of liability insurance and liquor license.
-Cancellation/refund policy.
-Anything else you agreed to orally that you want to set in stone.
