How To Choose Your Dream Wedding Venue

As you begin touring beautiful event spaces across the Tri-State area, it is easy to get caught up in the aesthetics. To help you find a space that is as functional as it is pretty, use these four questions to narrow down your options:

1. Verify the Capacity
Always request the venue’s maximum guest count for both seated receptions and standing cocktail hours before booking tours. You want to ensure your loved ones fit comfortably, with plenty of room left over for a spacious dance floor and your vendor setups.

2. Understand Catering Policies
Ask if the venue requires you to use an exclusive in-house caterer, a restricted preferred vendor list, or if they allow open, external wedding catering services. Food and beverage can make up a massive portion of your budget, so knowing your catering freedom upfront is crucial.
