What to look for before you tour
- 1
Seated capacity with a dance floor
A room's maximum often drops once tables and a dance floor go in. Ask for the number for your layout.
- 2
Ceremony and reception options
Can you marry and celebrate in one place? Ask how the room turns over, and how long it takes.
- 3
A rain plan for outdoor spaces
See the indoor backup in person, and ask when the call has to be made.
