What to Ask During Wedding Venue Tours (and What to Look for That’s Not in the Brochure) | Ep. 040

Choosing your wedding venue is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make and one of the easiest places to miss important details if you don’t know what to ask. In this episode, I walk through exactly what to ask during wedding venue tours so you can confidently compare spaces, avoid surprise costs, and choose a venue that truly fits your wedding vision and budget. You’ll learn the core questions every couple should ask at any venue, plus additional questions for all-inclusive venues and venue-only or blank canvas spaces. I also cover the behind-the-scenes details venues don’t always include in the brochure, like setup timing, power and lighting limitations, staffing expectations, weather backup plans, noise restrictions, and cleanup policies. This episode is perfect for newly engaged couples touring venues for the first time, brides who feel overwhelmed by options, and anyone who wants to make a smart, informed venue decision without costly surprises later. Bring this episode with you on your venue tours and know exactly what to look for before you sign a contract.
