Are tables, chairs, linens, plates, flatware or barware included in the rental price? If you are obsessed with twinkling lights, can you hang these on the walls? Are animals allowed? What about bounce houses and lawn games?

IS YOUR HEART SET ON A SPECIFIC DATE?
What is the number one consideration when choosing a venue- IS YOUR DATE AVAILABLE?! Once you have narrowed it down don’ t delay, make sure you snag that date before it is gone.
how to use the venue guide
Use it up, it’ s yours. We say dog-ear and tag all your favorites – don’ t be afraid to make notes! As you are reading, through you will see each venue has the following:
CAPACITY: This is their max capacity, but all allow smaller parties as well.
INDOOR / OUTDOOR: This indicates whether their location enables them to do parties – indoors, outdoors or both.
OUTSIDE CATERING ALLOWED: Some venues offer / require in-house catering. This indicates if you are allowed to bring in outside food and catering.
ALCOHOL: Some venues offer / require in-house bar service. Most require a licensed / insured bar service company if they do not have one onsite. Not all venues allow alcohol, this will indicate that as well.
