Print copies of this sheet and place it in your notebook. Use it when researching prospective venues.

 

Checklist on Choosing a Venue

Call many as you plan your guest list. List the venue in your budget as a "per-person" expense so you can decide on how big you wedding can be.

When searching sites and taking notes, bring a camera to help you remember how you felt about each site and to recall that feeling later, when you decide at home.

Be sure and take notes on any advantages and disadvantages.

Once a site is selected, take the ones you didn't choose out of the notebook and continue to make notes on the venue sheet. Review this as the wedding day approaches.

When choosing the reception venue, be very aware of your first impression as you enter the facility. This “feeling” you get when you first go in is very important, don’t ignore it. The same goes for the ceremony location for that matter.
