What's the corkage fee if I bring my own wine?
Supplying the wine-no matter where your wedding is-could save you money, depending on the corkage fee. Ask in advance what the charges are.
How early can I get into the site to set up?
Reception halls generally allow you ample time for this. But with museums, galleries, theatres, and stadiums, inquire early and often about how much time you have. Occasionally they won't permit a setup until the public hours of operation are over. For instance, if a gallery closes at 5p.m. on a Saturday and your reception begins at 7 p.m., that will pose a severe time crunch.
Are there restrictions for the photographer?
If you've booked the reception at your favourite art museum, only to be told that flashing camera lights are prohibited near the painting where your fiancé first kissed you, you might want to rethink that location.
Does the venue have public liability insurance?
Note if someone gets injured during the day ,you don’t want to be held responsible – if the site doesn’t have insurance ,you’ll need to get your own.
Are there any additional costs-cleaning fees, insurance-fee waivers, etc.?
Get it all in writing so there are no surprises.
How many weddings will be booked on my day?
Only if you're booking a massive event space should there be more than one event scheduled on your day. Make sure that you're getting the time you've been allotted and have paid for.
