State of repair of building
The exterior of the building is the first glimpse that the guests will have into what they can expect from the day. A shabby, uncared for building on the outside often reflects the attitudes of the staff on the inside, so be careful to look out for rubbish, clocks showing the wrong time, missing roof tiles, broken windows, flaky paintwork and alike. Remember, if you can spot them, you can be sure that your guests will spot them too. First impressions count!
Music system
If you are planning to play music from CD's before, during and after the Service, first of all ask if the venue has a music system, and secondly, ask if you can take a listen. Many venues claim to have quality music systems and surround sound speakers, but all you end up with is a ten year old portable CD player that they wheel out for such occasions It is well worth asking!
Accessibility
Older venues in particular can have access problems. If you are inviting guests who use a wheelchair, or who have limited mobility, you will need to look out for ramps or venues with limited stairs that need to be climbed. Alternative entrances may be available but not necessarily noticeable, so be sure to ask the venue about access.
Number of Ceremonies That Day
Many venues hold multiple Ceremonies each day. For some may not be an issue, but for others it can be. Common effects of multiple ceremonies can be the inability to decorate the room to your exact specifications, or the feeling that you are being somewhat rushed. Check with the venue if they do hold more that one Wedding each day, but perhaps more importantly, ask how long they allow between each ceremony.
