And that probably also means that you have been spending more and more of your time researching that all important wedding venue. And once you\u2019ve narrowed done that list, it\u2019s probably time to arrange those appointments to view or maybe even book your wedding (oooh\u2026 exciting!).<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re anything like us, you always walk away from a situation with a million questions you should have asked at the time but totally forgot.

Do you have an in-house coordinator? If so, are they available up to and including the reception?<\/li>\n<li>Is there a minimum amount of guests required for my wedding?<\/li>\n<li>How flexible are your packages?<\/li>\n<li>Are you planning any changes leading up to or on my day?<\/li>\n<li>Do you do ceremonies?<\/li>\n<li>Do you have a menu to taste? Is it included in the package?<\/li>\n<li>Do you charge a corkage fee?<\/li>\n<li>Are there different options for tables, chairs and covers?<\/li>\n<li>Can I use my own covers\/d\u00e9cor?<\/li>\n<li>Is d\u00e9cor and stationery included in the day?<\/li>\n<li>Do you have microphones for speeches?<\/li>\n<li>Is there a charge for a bar extension\/late bar?<\/li>\n<li>Can you recommend any bands or DJs?<\/li>\n<li>Is there a payment schedule?
