Are you in the midst of venue hunting for your wedding? Trying to choose the perfect setting during a global pandemic and current stay-at-home orders is tricky, but, luckily, most venues offer virtual tours. While this is something to get your head around, it really can be just as good as the real thing.
Your one-on-one wedding venue virtual tour will include a walk-through of all the spaces at the venue with the coordinator, while they will talk you through your different options. Make sure you ask lots of questions. A bonus with regards to virtual tours is that you can view venues at locations around the world too.
► Explore 3D Space Take note of the following when scheduling a wedding venue virtual tour:
Your Apps
Find out what platform the tour is done on...Zoom, Skype, Google Hangouts, or FaceTime? And, make sure it’s downloaded, updated, and ready to go. Find out ahead of time if you can add family members or friends to join the tour.
Your Non-Negotiables
Decide what aspects are particularly important for you and your partner, such as an outdoor wedding or, perhaps, the curfew. Also, have an idea of guest numbers and a wedding date before starting your tour.
Your Budget
This is key; you don’t want to find the place of your dreams only to find out afterwards it’s not a possibility due to budget. Also, remember there are always unanticipated costs to consider like service fees, additional rentals, etc.
Your Choices
Once you have narrowed down your search to a few favorite venues, get in touch with them again and find out if they can work with your date and budget and then schedule a tour as soon as possible.
Your Tour
After a brief initial consultation with the coordinator, you should start your tour. Make sure it’s during the day for optimal lighting, that your device is fully charged,you have a good connection. Ask to record the tour or take screenshots to share with family members and friends who will be helping you make your decision.
Your Questions
Ask as many questions as you need and want. It’s essential to be thorough, and why not ask for a reference from a couple that recently had their wedding at the venue? Give them a call and chat through what they loved and what worked. This will help give you a better idea of things and reassure you too.
Your Gut-Feel
Always trust your instincts! Virtual or actual, you will quickly get a feel for the place and the people who run it. Are they warm, welcoming, and friendly? Are they open to suggestions or shut down your ideas and requests quickly? Also, if you close your eyes, can you imagine your big day at this venue? It’s a good idea to make a pros and cons list with your partner and then go with your gut-feel.
