As you are shopping for the wedding venue of your dreams, you are no doubt going to have many questions along the way. It is often helpful to have a list of questions written out in advance of your tour so that you will not forget any of the important things to bring up. Inevitably, there will be something you will forget to ask, so to prevent a lot of back-and-forth with questions to the venue sales manager, we have listed out 20 helpful questions to ask when touring your potential wedding venue’s.
- When is the space available? Is the calendar open on (or around) my target date?
