During the tour, you’ll explore the venue’s grounds and facilities, including key areas such as the ceremony space, reception area, bridal suites, and guest accommodations (if applicable). You’ll also get a sense of the layout, discuss possible setups for your wedding day, and ask questions about capacity, décor options, and logistics. It’s an opportunity to visualise your day in the space while working with the venue staff or planners.

Most tours last between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and complexity of the venue. If you have a specific vision or want to discuss detailed aspects such as catering, seating arrangements, or lighting, the tour may take longer. We can also arrange for extended tours if you’re interested in visiting multiple areas or nearby venues in one day.

Yes, we can organise a schedule that includes visits to several venues in one day, giving you the chance to compare options directly. We’ll handle the logistics, allowing you to maximise your time and view different types of venues. This could include different styles, like beachfront locations, rural estates, or luxury resorts, all in one comprehensive day of touring.

It’s recommended to book your venue tours at least a couple of weeks in advance to ensure availability, especially during busy seasons. If you want to see the venue in its best light, visiting during the time of day or season similar to your wedding date is ideal. For example, if you’re planning a sunset ceremony, a late afternoon tour will give you a better sense of the lighting and ambiance.

We recommend bringing a notebook or digital device to take notes, a camera or smartphone for photos, and a list of questions specific to your needs (like décor, logistics, or guest capacity). It’s also helpful to bring any inspiration or vision boards you’ve created, so the venue team can offer suggestions on how to bring your vision to life.

Yes, you’ll meet with the venue manager or wedding coordinator during your tour. This is a great time to ask detailed questions about their level of involvement on the wedding day, what services are included, and if they provide on-site support like setup, breakdown, or day-of coordination. You may also want to discuss vendor policies, catering options, and any restrictions the venue may have.

If there’s a wedding or event happening around the time of your tour, we can often arrange for you to see the venue as it’s being set up. This will give you a clearer idea of how the space looks when decorated. If not, we can show you detailed photo albums or videos of past weddings, giving you a sense of how the venue can be customised for different styles and themes.

Yes, you’ll be provided with information on the venue’s pricing, available packages, and optional add-ons like catering, décor, and entertainment. You’ll also receive details about payment schedules, deposit requirements, and available dates for your wedding. This will help you evaluate the venue not only from a visual perspective but also in terms of budget and logistics.

If you fall in love with a venue during the tour, the next steps involve securing your date with a deposit, reviewing the contract, and going over any additional services you may want to include (like catering, photography, or florals). You’ll work closely with the venue team and your wedding planner to finalise details, ensuring that everything aligns with your vision before signing the contract.
