1. Permission for the actual event
Ask the owner, council or site manager about your ceremony, guest numbers, suppliers and setup. Get the arrangement in writing before booking services around the location.
2. Space for your people
Check the ceremony capacity, seating layout and places for anyone with mobility needs. Include the couple, wedding party and suppliers when the site asks for a total attendance.
3. Access and facilities
Walk the route from parking to the ceremony if possible. Check steps, surfaces, toilets, shade, vehicle access and whether equipment needs to be carried in.
4. A weather alternative
Confirm where the ceremony can move and the conditions for doing so. Check any additional hire cost and the time needed to tell guests and suppliers.
5. The full day and cost
Allow for travel, photographs, a meal and packing away. Compare hire, permits, bonds, equipment and supplier travel alongside your wedding-service quote.
