How often do you contact your venue

I booked in july- so far i rang them on questions such as can i have confetti, do you have a table plan holder.

only rang them about 3 times since july.

due to go and see them in next 6 weeks. they said as soon as i have ideas/most things sorted then come and see them

I got in touch at the beginning of Jan and went for menu tasting at the weekend. I'm contacting everyone at the moment, I'm a feckin nuisance. lol.

We've barely spoken to ours - booked last April for a wedding this July. As we live a distance away we set up a meeting with them last summer to check a few details so we could get on with our planning more easily, and also so my mum could see the venue and meet the weddings team. Othere than that, there have been a couple of emails exchanged about little things and letters asking us for more money. We'll meet with them again maybe June and then a day or two before the wedding.

I've been told by my venue that there is no point in contacting them until 6 weeks before the wedding, unless there is something I need to know.

The wedding organiser at our venue has been there for 12 years, organising a wedding a week since day one. I guess she knows what she is doing!

Hi

We booked our venu in September 2010 and visited it a couple of time after as they had weddings on, so we could see the place set up.

Other than that we, have exchanged a few emails about DJ and little things. On the last reply I got from them they said they would contact me after the clocks changed in March.

By the way we get married on the 23rd April 2011

I speak to our Co-ordinator all the time - he is a really lovely guy.

Questions i've asked include:

Booking of the DJ

Provision of certain items

Size of the cake stand and whether they will cut it up for us or whether we will be required to do so

Menu options, tastings, prices

Various drinks packages

Further food options / upgrades / off menu decisions

Whether we were permitted to have a sweety buffet

I contact mine by e-mail with queries as I can never get her on the phone and the wedding co-ordinator replies pretty promptly. Before Christmas she was stressed with functions so wasn't so prompt but now she is e-mails asking how the plans are going and after I meet my suppliers at the venue she always follows up to see how it went and finishes with if you need any assistance let me know, so I do!

In answer to your question quite frequently, it will slow down now until nearer the date when it comes to menus' etc.. and the finer details.

Er about once a fortnight!! Yes i know i have a problem. When i first booked it about a year ago I sent a 2 page email stating what i thought the day would be like and asking all sorts of questions such as can i hang voile curtains to hide a fire exit door and is it possible to get low round tables hired for the evening do? We then met up and ran through everything for the whole weekend. We then emailed each other for about 3 months fairly regularly just getting things sorted, it then quietened down but still fairly regularly. We have also met up every couple of months just to run through things and check through everything. If you are not happy with how often you talk to them then just email them, they will have to reply which will in turn set your mind at ease.

Weve spoken to the chef via email and also been to see him twice and oh went down another time to check if the tables fitted in the room the way we wanted them.. we are planning to pop down a month before to pay the money and check final few details.. we get married on 23rd April...

We booked our venue recently for next year, and the wedding co-ordinator said there is nothing really to do from now on until 4 months before the wedding (apart from making payments lol Typical!)

I do email the wedding co-ordinator alot though, because I am always thinking of questions.

We booked our venue about 3 months ago, for July 2012.

I've been emailling our wedding co-ordinator now and then to get confirmation of a few things or contact details for recommended suppliers so I can check them out and compare to other suppliers.

The co-ordinator called me last week to have a chat as it was '18 months to go!' and he wanted to see how my plans were going. It made me laugh because they aren't really going anywhere at the moment He's such an enthusiastic, helpful guy though that his call gave me my wedding mojo back and I'll be booking a couple of new things this week!

We live 5mins from our venue and pop down all the time!!

The coordinator rings us and lets us know if theres a wedding on or if any of the recommeneded suppliers are there so we can go and meet them and see their work / stuff set up etc...pretty good really!!

A lot of your coordinators sound a lot more helpful and friendly than mine! She always makes me feel like an inconvenience which is probably why I don't contact them more often - Im sure its just her way!

I think I'll give them a call and get the ball rolling again - seen as she only works 9-5 monday to friday it might be months before we can get to see her anyway!

Simple answer to this is, speak to them as many times as you feel you need to, until they know what you want and you know what they need from you!

I harrassed my venue when we first booked (2 years in advance) i must have spoken to them about 20 times over the first 2 weeks (not including emails), but only once since then! and I get married September

so as long as you are happy there are no right or wrongs on this

I've spoken to them 3x so far: once to look around the place, once to book and once to pay the deposit and ask general questions. Neither OH or I have seen the whole venue but my mum has and says it is lovely so we are trusting her opinion (is it obvious that I don't really care that much?). We have been meaning to speak to them for ages about the soup we want and our evening buffet choice, but there is so much other wedding stuff we need to organise we keep forgetting to call them.
