A venue comparison checklist couples can actually use

Compare capacity, rain plan, exclusivity, catering rules, accessibility, transport, accommodation and the hours you really control the space.

Compare usable capacity

Published maximum capacity is not always the same as a comfortable capacity for your ceremony layout, dinner format, dance floor, stage and weather backup. Ask for a floor plan for your actual guest count.

Price the mandatory extras

Request a line-item estimate covering room hire, food and beverage minimums, service charges, taxes, security, overtime, rentals, staffing, corkage, power, cleaning and accommodation commitments.

Plan for the bad-weather version

For outdoor or destination weddings, inspect the rain, wind and heat plan with the same seriousness as the ideal setup. The backup should work for your full guest count, not just exist on paper.

Source discipline

Open the current official source before committing money. XMarry separates source facts, independent editorial criteria and user reviews; pricing, inventory, venue packages and travel conditions can change.
