Planning your dream wedding starts with choosing the right venue. But even the most organized couples often overlook important details when touring and booking. Missing these questions can lead to unexpected costs, stress, or limits on your celebration.
Here’s a checklist of 10 things couples forget to ask when booking a wedding venue — and how Fêtewell venues make these answers simple.
1. How Long Is the Rental Window?
Many venues only allow 8–10 hours. At Fêtewell, our venues offer up to 16 hours so you never feel rushed.
2. Can I Bring My Own Vendors?
Some venues lock you into in-house catering. Fêtewell venues allow licensed and insured vendors of your choice.
3. What’s the Backup Plan for Weather?
Outdoor ceremony? Always ask about rain plans and indoor options.
4. Are There Noise or Time Restrictions?
Some venues end events by 9 p.m. Our rental windows go until midnight, so you can dance the night away.
5. Is Parking or Transportation Easy for Guests?
Check guest access. Our downtown locations are near hotels and public transit for easy travel.
6. What’s Included in the Rental?
Chairs? Tables? Setup time? Always clarify what’s included.
7. How Does Cleanup Work?
Some venues charge extra for late-night cleanup. Fêtewell’s generous rental window helps avoid that stress.
8. What’s the Payment Schedule?
Ask about deposits, due dates, and flexibility.
9. Are There Décor Restrictions?
Candles, hanging installations, confetti — ask before you plan. (We love real candles–in glass– btw).
10. How Many Weddings Happen Per Day?
Single-event venues mean the whole space is yours. That’s standard at every Fêtewell venue.
Final Thoughts
When booking, don’t just focus on the beauty of the space — make sure you know the fine print. At Fêtewell, we designed our venues around flexibility and freedom, so couples never feel boxed in by rules or timelines.
