Tips for Booking Wedding and Event Venues

Visit at the same time of day as your wedding to see the light.
Ask for the total "all-in" price; service charges of 18–24% plus tax are common and not always shown up front.
Friday, Sunday and off-season dates are often cheaper.

Getting several quotes? Line them up in the quote comparison tool and check the contract red flags before you pay a deposit.
