Questions for Venue

[Pops]

We are going for our anniversary weekend at our hotel on Friday and are meeting with the Manager and Head Chef.

Is there anything that we need to be asking them!?!

We want a very simple, laid back day so we are not being fussy or particular on timings etc so we will go with whatever they suggest but we have just been wondering if there is anything we have not considered !!

Our friends and family keep laughing saying we are the most laid back people about our wedding they have ever known and maybe they are right

Thanks hun!

Well my OH is the only vegetarian so that is easy
The drinks are all inclusive in the package
We aren't having any children at all there

I don't think we will bother with a list, we'll just see how the discussions go!

Check about parking for those who are travelling, whether confetti can be thrown, whether candles are allowed, access for decorating reception room, do they have a pa system for speeches....cant think of anything else that isnt already tied up in your package xxx

How long the meal will take..this may impact on what time people can arrive for the evening.

What do they offer in the way of cake presentation - ie is there a stand, will they provide a knife? (some places charge to cut up your cake for guests!!!!!)

Any restrictions on where/when you can take photos?

Can you throw confetti?

Any restrictions on table decorations/flowers etc?

Do you have to provide a way of playing music for the ceremony/meal/evening?

Do you have to arrange tables/decorations/packing away at end of night?

We aren't having any extra people to the evening, its the same 40 all the way through. We get married at 4pm, meal is about 6pm and thats us settled for the night!!

Will ask about the cake, although I am sure I remember her saying about a stand and knife!

Table decorations are in our package, nice simple flowers to match the bouquets so I need to put them in touch with our florist.

Music is through Ipod so thats all sorted.

Ill check about the putting stuff away thing but I am pretty sure not.

Thanks folks, you are all ace

Do the prices inc VAT??

Will there be a discount for accomodation if people from your wedding party want to stay? Our hotel should be £120 per night but they're offering our wedding party £85 B&B.

Also is the bridal suite inc.....might be worth trying to get 2 nights stay so you can maybe have the night after too.....chill time?

What time does the music/dj have to be off?

What time do the wedding guests have to leave the evening reception by? Our hotel request all none hotel guests pre book taxis and have left the hotwl by 2am - residents bar is open til 6am for hotel guests.

Will you have to supply credit card details to the hotel for any breakages or damages that may occur from your wedding party? We have to do this as our hotel is has lots of beautiful antiques and huge chandalers.

Do the venue supply a toast master?

Will there be a wedding co-ordinator on the day to keep everything on track & make sure timings are ok....
^^I know you said your not worried about times etc but I think somesort of sturcture is good and you don't want to be clock watching on your day so let someone else do it

I could go on forever ......lol xx x

Well we have exclusive use including all rooms in the hotel and the bar is open 24 hours so thats fine.

The rooms are up to £300 but we pay for exclusivity and will be asking guests to pay half of that which includes a parking space normally £25 and a breakfast of the same ammount so £200 less.

We dont want a toastmaster, its really not that sort of do but the manager is amazing and she will be there on the day.
The only thing that needs a time is the actual ceremony and then maybe the meal. We arent having a disco, but a cocktail type do so no worry if we do it at 8 or 10 really.

We just want a laid back, relaxed, simple day and one of the reasons we love our venue so much is thats exactly what they will give us. We are paying a premium for it but its worth every penny!
