How to Choose the Perfect Venue

Start with your guest count

Before you fall in love with a space, know roughly how many people you plan to invite. A room that feels intimate for 60 guests will feel cramped at 150, and an empty ballroom can swallow a small party.

Think about the season

Garden and rooftop venues are magical in late spring, but they need a solid rain plan. Ask every venue what happens if the weather turns, and walk through the backup space yourself.

Questions to ask on your visit

1. Which vendors are required or recommended?

2. When can setup begin and when must we leave?

3. Is there accessible parking and step-free access?

4. What is included in the rental fee?
