Going to see venue, is there anything I need to ask?

List of questions if had recently:

parking?price?

can drinks be paid for on card?

is the buffett catering for 100% as not necesasary as a lto to be wasted.

how may people to a table?

do you need a cake knife or if that provided?i'

i've had loads more but these are still jotted on my notepad

Sorry to hijack your post a little but how often before the wedding do people expect to meet with their venue? I've got 7 months left and they're a little useless at sorting some bits out and wondered what other people's experiences were.

Our meeting with our venue is 6 weeks before the wedding.

Stuff like Where's the nearest cash point? Local taxi numbers? Is there a time children have to be out by? xx

Never thought of the children one but I Really hope not as we have 2 of our own!! X

OP, I would ask about parking, accessibility, catering, if they limit various styles of decoration, if theres anything you need to tell your other suppliers.

Our first meeting is four months before hand to discuss menus, timings and how we want the rooms setting on the day. Then I think we have a final meeting three weeks before hand to discuss table plans.

This is my list of questions however some of these may be very irrelevant as these were questions we asked when looking to book not once we had already booked but thought it was worth putting on anyway incase you hadn't asked any of them haha x
