Weddings: Common Mistakes When Choosing a Venue - as part of the Wedding series by GeoBeats.

Some common mistakes when choosing a wedding venue is to not do all the negotiations up front and sign the contract and help to figure those things out later. That is definitely not what you want to do. If there is anything that you want to ask about or have included in addition to what is already been discussed, you want to make sure to negotiate that up front.

If you want to lower corkage fee, if you want them to add in extra set up time or something like that, you definitely want to ask for that up front, because once you sign that contract, there is not really any way to go then moving forward.

The other thing that is really important is you want to make sure to get everything in writing that you have discussed. If they are including anything extra, make sure that it is in writing and in the contract, because if it is not it could lead to miss-communications in the future.
