A FEW PAGES, JUST AS THEY ARE
Bring your real wedding into the search
Before a venue shows you its favorite photographs, write down the celebration you are trying to hold. Include a guest range, possible dates, the parts of the day you want in one place, and what guests will need to use comfortably. The venue should respond to this picture, rather than expecting you to grow an event around whatever is available.
A question to make your own
The celebration we are looking for

About this book.
Take the questions that matter with you when you visit a venue, then keep its answers somewhere you can compare them. This workbook follows the whole day through the space, from arrival and the rain plan to catering, setup, closing time, and the details to clarify before booking.
