16 answersHow soon before the wedding are you usually able to go in and check the decor is up to scratch?
I may come across as a bridezilla but I want to check that the venue is perfect before the wedding! Are you usually allowed in prior? I havent booked my venue yet but I'm looking and this is really important to me

11 answersHow do venues cater to children and teens?
I have some kids (under 10) and then 8 cousins in their teens. I'm not sure where the wedding is yet (open to anywhere in Aus), but they make up a large portion of my guests so I don't want them to feel bored! Can venues supply mocktails for them so they can feel part of it and party with us? Should I be asking about kids rooms or somewhere where I can set up an xbox or netflix or something for them to do? Should I hire some games?

15 answersWhat kinds of things should I consider when booking a venue?
Also, what is the normal deposit amount? Because one venue said 50% to secure the date but that seems large..

13 answersIs it a risk having a slightly outdoor wedding in August? Is it too cold?
My partner and I have finally decided on a venue and we are both in love with it - however it has an open area where the reception dinner is - it has a roof but has open walls. The venue supply mushroom heaters but i'm getting concerned that it will be too cold for guests. Does anyone have any experience in this? Thank you!

6 answersWill venues generally allow you to take pictures before the ceremony?
I want to do a photo shoot before my wedding in our set-up reception venue, is that too much to ask? Or is that a common thing...?

12 answersDo I need security at my venue?
Do most venues provide this or do I need to look around? I don't know if I need it, but we have a large group (210) so I wanted to know if that means I need it? Also what is the ratio of security to guests?
