Choosing the right venue starts with asking the right questions to ask during your wedding venue tour to ensure it aligns with your vision. To help you make the most of your tour, we’ve compiled the top five must-ask questions. These will give you a clear understanding of what to expect and help you make an informed decision.
1. What’s included in the venue rental?
Before falling in love with a venue, it’s essential to understand what’s included in the rental package. For instance, does the fee cover tables, chairs, linens, or decor? At Fairview Acres Barn, we also offer setup assistance, decoration guidance, and day-of coordination to help ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. Knowing what’s included ensures there are no surprises when it’s time to plan the details.
2. How many guests can the venue comfortably accommodate?
It’s crucial to ensure the venue fits your guest list comfortably. While a space may advertise a maximum capacity, you’ll want to ask how the layout flows for dining, dancing, and celebrating. At Fairview Acres Barn, we offer versatile spaces designed for guest comfort and even outdoor overflow options for unique experiences.
3. What is the backup plan for bad weather?
No one wants to think about rain or high winds on their wedding day, but it’s always better to be prepared. If your dream ceremony includes an outdoor setting, ask about their backup plan for bad weather. Fairview Acres Barn has indoor options that are just as stunning as the outdoor spaces, giving you peace of mind no matter what the forecast holds.
4. How does the venue handle hospitality and guest experience?
One thing that sets Fairview Acres Barn apart is its unmatched hospitality. From the moment your guests arrive until the final send-off, our team goes above and beyond to ensure everyone feels welcomed and cared for. While every venue is different, ask how the team manages things like greeting guests, assisting with packing vehicles, or ensuring parents and VIPs feel supported. These details can make a huge difference in how your day feels.
5. What unique experiences and stress-free planning options are offered?
A truly standout venue goes beyond providing a space—it creates unforgettable experiences. At Fairview Acres Barn, our approach to creating a stress-free day is one-of-a-kind. Our team offers guidance and expertise that feels more like coaching than traditional planning, helping you navigate decisions with confidence and calmness. We also provide thoughtful touches like the Grain Bin wedding suite, on-site fishing, and curated guest activities to make your celebration as unique as your love story. Be sure to ask your venue about the extras they offer to make your day even more special.
