How to Get the Most Out of a Venue Open House
If this is your first open house, or even if you’ve been to a few, here are some helpful tips to ensure you make the most of the experience:
1. Ask the Right Questions
Come with a short list of what matters most to you. Some helpful questions to ask include:
What dates are currently available?
What is included in the venue rental?
Are there any vendor restrictions or required partners?
What does the backup plan look like in case of rain?
What all is provided in your packages?
Is there a bridal suite and groom’s room on-site?
What’s the payment schedule and cancellation policy?
Who handles setup and breakdown? What’s expected of us?
Are there any décor restrictions (confetti, hanging items, open flames)?
2. Bring a Trusted Plus-One
Your fiancé, a parent, or your maid of honor can help you gather details and offer a second perspective. They may notice things you don’t and it’s always more fun to share the experience with someone close to you.
3. Take Notes and Photos
There will be a lot to take in, so keep a small notebook or your phone handy to jot down thoughts or snap photos of setups and vendor tables that stand out.
4. Talk to the Vendors
This is a rare opportunity to meet local wedding professionals face-to-face in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. Ask about their style, pricing, and availability, and pick up cards or brochures for follow-up.
5. Pay Attention to the Atmosphere
Weddings are about more than just logistics; they're about how a space feels. Take a moment to soak in the scenery, imagine your guests mingling here, and notice the little things that make a venue feel like “the one.”
