It's our favorite time of year at Cedarmont! Engagement season! And that also means lots of tours and showings of our venue. We love meeting all the newly engaged couples and hearing their proposal stories and wedding plans. Making our clients dream wedding come true is one of the things that truly makes our job fulfilling (not to mention sometimes challenging and we LOVE a good challenge!) In Nashville alone, there are so many different types of wedding venues from rustic to urban and everything in between. While finding the venue that fits your aesthetic is important, there are also some other important questions you may not think about that you should be asking venues when you tour.

I like your advice to talk to the venue about any restrictions they have for decor based on safety and housekeeping reasons, such s if they don'tallow candles or confetti. This would be useful to determine if you'll be able to have the decorations you want for your wedding reception. While you discuss this, it would probably be a good idea to talk to them about the decor you have planned so that you can ensure it will be allowed and to make sure it will work for the size, location, and other factors in order to determine which venue offers the kind of wedding reception services you're looking for.

I agree that it's important to know what time vendors can set up during an event. I think communication between all parties involved is key. I hope to get a good venue for my wedding and its reception.

Thanks for explaining some things to consider when you're looking for a wedding a venue. You mentioned that you should try to see if the venue will charge for outside vendors. It sounds important to talk with the venue about this especially if the venue may even work with any outside vendors to help your wedding.

You brought up a great point when you said that everyone loves an outdoor wedding ceremony. Renting the right wedding venue is critical when it comes to making your big day memorable. My friend wants to rent the perfect place for his wedding, so I'll help him with his search.

Thanks for the tip that I should ask if alcohol is included in the wedding venue that we'll rent from. I think I'll also ask them about clean up so that we'll be aware if we need to hire cleaners for the end of the reception. Hopefully, they will tell us about other fees that we should know about so that we will be able to pay them the amount that they will charge from us.

Some friends of mine are getting married soon. They have yet to choose a venue and I've volunteered to help them. They don't have much of a set budget so as you mentioned about extras and price, it is something that won't be taken into account.

As a wedding photographer, I find lighting the biggest challenge with some venues. Having spot lights that can flood the dance floor can make a huge difference and it makes the reception dance party photos sing.

Excellent article! You’ve shed light on a lot of often overlooked aspects to be considered when choosing a wedding venue. Not having a backup venue in case of an outdoor wedding can end up being a huge mistake. While it is important to take a look at your venue’s backup plan for your outdoor wedding, you must also inquire about any additional charges that you may have to pay in that case.

This is so true! When we used to do tented weddings, the sides or heaters/ac were always extra costs that brides didnt think about if the weather wasn't ideal. With the indoor reception area it's much easier and less expensive now to have an easy backup plan.

My friend is getting married in three months. I like how you mention asking the venue if they have a license to provide liquor for the wedding. Thank you for the information. I'll recommend my friend to hire a venue's service so they can arrange your wedding.

Great article and wonderful tips! Apart from liability insurance, it’s a great idea to get event cancellation insurance. This covers you in case of a natural disaster or illness.

I like what you said about making sure that you know how much time you'll need a venue for to clean up after your wedding. My sister has been telling me about how she's been working on planning her wedding for the last few days. I'll share this information with her so that she can look into her options for professionals who can help her with this.

I like that you mention how important it is to know how the end of the reception will go and to know how much they will help with in terms of clean up. My fiancee and I are trying to figure out where we want to have our wedding. I think we should look into a good venue since we want to have a barn wedding and see what they will help with when everything is over.

As you mentioned, it is important to find out how many planning meeting are included in the venue package. My sister was recently engaged, and she has always wanted to get married in a rustic barn. I will have to keep these thoughts in mind as we select a venue for her.

Thank you for telling me that we should clarify first if the venue charges a fee for outside vendors. We're thinking of renting a banquet hall for our guests so we can avoid any extreme weather conditions but we also want to hire a separate catering service. I'll try to verify this first before choosing the final venue for our reception.

I like that this post mentioned it is important for us to ensure the wedding decor is in harmony with our wedding theme. My niece is getting married next year. Therefore, I will remind them to ensure the theme is in sync.

My fiance and I are going to get married next year, and I'm looking for advice when choosing a venue here in NY. I like that you recommend making sure of what is included in renting the venue and what is not. I want to make sure of what I'm allowed to bring, ad what I'm not so I have everything clear.
