Your venue sets the tone for everything else, from the guest list to the menu to the photographs. Start with the practical questions before you fall in love with the view.
Start with the numbers
Confirm capacity for both the ceremony and the reception, then check the rain plan, the finish time and what is included in the hire. A beautiful room that cannot seat your guests comfortably will cost you more in the end.
Visit at the same time of day as your event. Light changes everything.
Think about the guest journey
Consider parking, accessibility, nearby accommodation and how guests move between spaces. The best venues make the day feel effortless for everyone, not just the couple.
