We're introducing the Daily Buzz, a new segment answering your wedding questions from social media. Today's topic focuses on finding your perfect wedding venue and the essential questions you should ask before booking.

• Ask about date availability, maximum capacity, and whether your guest count can be accommodated
• Discuss logistics like setup and teardown responsibilities 
• Get clear on total costs, payment schedules, and any potential hidden fees
• Understand the cancellation or rescheduling process
• Tour all event spaces and evaluate transitions between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception
• Check if the venue provides tables, chairs, linens, or if rentals are needed
• Ask about restrictions on candles, confetti, flower petals, and sparklers
• Inquire about music limitations, noise restrictions, and curfews
• For outdoor venues, confirm their rain plan or weather contingency options
• Determine if they require you to use preferred vendors
• Check what vendor arrival, setup, and cleanup times are allowed
• Ask about available amenities like bridal suites and getting-ready spaces
• Confirm who handles cleanup and when it must be completed

Make sure to ask these questions upfront so you know exactly what to plan for and aren't surprised with unexpected responsibilities on your wedding day.
