When brides and grooms start looking for wedding venues, too often their eyes are bigger than their wallets and they fall in love with the beautiful atmosphere of the place and sign a contract before they've considered more sensible issues.  Before you plan the entire
event around this beautiful atmosphere some decisions must be made first.  The basic questions of the date and time are important as some times of the year are more expensive than others.  Besides that the more important questions include the number of guests to accommodate as well as other services and products needed to accommodate the event such as caterers and D.J.  Once you know these things, and you have a few wedding venues in mind that fit that budget and size, then it's time to start asking questions!  The questions listed below are essential to couples when selecting this venue as the venue of the wedding no matter if both ceremony and reception in one place or multiple venues can consume almost 35% to 40% of wedding budget.
