Tell us about where you chose to have your event. Was the location everything you hoped it would be? How was the service, food, facility?

  1. Some Helpful Questions to Ask

    1)Determine what essential services the reception site provides and what you must contract from an outside vendor:

    2)Is there an in-house caterer or a list of preferred caterers? If so, are they the exclusive caterers, or can you provide your own?

    3)Are there on-site kitchen facilities? (off-site caterers will charge extra if they have to bring their own stoves and refrigerators)

    4)Does the reception site have a list of recommended vendors? (Access to a list of vendors with working relationships and knowledge of the site will prove extremely beneficial during the planning process. All of the wedding reception sites on Elegala.com have a preferred vendor list!)

    5)Can you hold your ceremony on site? If not, are there suitable locations nearby?

    6)Does the reception site provide staff such as an on-site coordinator, waiters and bartenders?

    7)Does the reception site provide items such as tables, chairs, plates and glasses? (remember, renting these things yourself can drive up costs)

    8)Does the reception site provide adequate parking space or valets? What are the costs involved?

    9)Does the reception site provide on-site security. What are the costs involved?
