Chic Bride: Booking A Wedding Dinner Venue Hotel Wedding Dinner Question #1: Venue – yay or nay? ! What is the maximum number of guests the ballroom can accommodate in a round table banquet style? ! If you decide on Viking style seating (long rectangular table), then how many can the ballroom accommodate? ! What is the minimum number of tables in order to get the full ballroom? ! Will the use of the audio visual equipment (including microphones, microphone stands, DVD player, monitors, screens, etc.) and in-house lighting and sound system be included in this wedding dinner package? If not, what are the additional charges? ! How large is the stage and is it sufficient for your usage? ! How many parking spaces are available at the hotel? ! Will there be a flat rate for parking for the guests? Hotel Wedding Dinner Question #2: Money matters ! What is the minimum deposit required to book and confirm the hotel for the wedding dinner? ! What are the payment terms? (i.e. how many payments are required from the time of booking to the wedding day?) ! Do you have to pay for the wedding dinner in full prior to the wedding day? If so, try to renegotiate these terms so that you have more flexibility with payments. ! Can you pay for the balance of the wedding dinner on the day itself, be it in cash or credit card? ! Is there a penalty for late payments if there is a payment schedule in the contract? ! When is the last day you can confirm your full head count for the wedding dinner? ! Are there corkage charges for alcohol brought in for the wedding dinner? If so, are there different levels of corkage charges based on the types of alcohol served at the wedding dinner? Hotel Wedding Dinner Question #3: Complimentary services ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

What are the complimentary services provided to you for the wedding dinner? Will there be any rooms given complimentary to us for the wedding dinner? Will there be any complimentary parking tickets for family members? Will there be any complimentary flower arrangements and if so, what type of flowers will be available for your wedding dinner? Are there any complimentary wedding favours? If so, what are the choices available? Will there be any complimentary backdrop design included in the package? Will there a complimentary wedding cake included in the package or is there dummy wedding cake instead? Will champagne be given complimentary for the champagne fountain? Will there be complimentary food tasting once my wedding dinner menu has been confirmed? If so, how many people can attend the food ta  sting?  Happy planning! Love, the Chic Team.
