Access, seating & wet-weather checks
Before booking, ask the venue or land manager to confirm step-free access, walking distances, accessible toilets, seating and a workable wet-weather option for your exact ceremony spot.
Share any access needs with KISS when you enquire, so they can be included in the planning discussion. A garden, beach or property being open to visitors does not confirm that every ceremony area will suit every guest.
