You must consider the layout and capacity for sitting down for a meal as opposed to standing for a reception. Can the venue section off rooms to create a more intimate space for a ceremony with fewer guests than the venue’s headline figure? A room with 120 capacity for sitting down could be very large for 60 guests.
Exclusive Use or Shared Site
Remember, some venues will hold multiple events on the same day, therefore it will affect noise, parking and also other guests attending different functions walking through your reception. So, if privacy is a major concern for you, ensure you ask the question whether your booking will guarantee you sole use of the building and grounds for the day.
Outdoor Ceremony Licensing
Some outdoor spaces may not have a license for a ceremony to take place. Check if the garden or outside space at your chosen venue is a licensed approved premises. In England and Wales, there are specific legal requirements for where a legal marriage can take place and you may find that you need to have a separate civil ceremony elsewhere before having your wedding ceremony at your chosen venue.

In-House Catering Restrictions
Some venues may insist on you using their catering team to hold your wedding reception at the venue. Other venues may allow you to bring in external caterers that the venue has approved. So before you fall in love with a venue make sure you find out their catering policy and whether bringing in your own catering team will affect the price of hiring the venue.
Comparing Quotes Fairly
Price quotes need to be compared on a level playing field. Price quotes for wedding venues are not always transparent as to what is included in the price and what is not. Create a check list of all costs you can think of and then ask each venue to quote for your shortlist based on your check list.
Once you have compiled a list of all the relevant information of the wedding venues you are being considered, it will make choosing easier.
