Before Choosing a... [article]
Look over the reception space
Check out the space itself, and a portfolio of events in the space to get a feel for the range of ways it can look. Overall, you are looking to make sure the style suits your taste. (If you are looking for modern and the walls are clad with ornate decor, it's not a good fit.) And do the following:
- Picture yourself and all your guests in the space
- Decide whether it makes your feel comfortable
- Note whether the space seems to come alive at night and how it looks with decor and flowers
Get a sense of the overall style. Are they open to change? Ask:
- Do you have styles to choose from? Can we alter them?
- Can we completely customize our service options?
- What do you think would be appropriate for our [insert style keywords] wedding?
- Are there any restrictions or rules about entertainment, decorations, or a dress code?
