DC Wedding Venue Resources
Points to consider:
- Capacity- how many guests are you inviting? Will they fit in the space comfortably without too little or too much extra space? Don't forget to consider the back up space for inclement weather as well.
- Formality- does the venue match the black-tie or casual, preppy wedding you envision?
- Cost- per head food & beverage cost, space rental fees, etc. Consult your planner to avoid unexpected costs that may relate to that specific venue. DO NOT forget about tax and gratuity!
- Existing decor-- look at the carpet, walls, ceiling etc. will the colors and style work with the decor you have in mind for your wedding? You do not want to work against the existing decor.
- Location- think about cabs, valet, parking availability and cost for you and/or your guests. How far is it from your ceremony venue (if applicable)?
