It's the base for your day, the backdrop for your wedding photographs and the place in which memories of a lifetime will be created. 

So, how do you make sure that you get this important decision right?

Here are some ideas to think about when considering your Mudgee wedding venue choice.

*Budget - Determine what percentage of your wedding budget will be allocated for the venue are there extra charges? When is a deposit and final payment due?

*Inclusions -What is already available at the venue and what if any do you need to hire in?

Are you having children on your guestlist? What provisions are made for small guests?

Parking? Can cars be left overnight?

*Vibe - boho, rustic, modern, elegant, classic etc...how does your vision fit within the venue? What are the venues policies about decoration and bumping out?

*Flexibility - be clear about how flexible the venue is compared to your needs e.g. disability access, byo drinks, pet friendly, catering, live music, petal toss, noise limits , closing time, ceremony location,wet weather alternatives for both the ceremony and reception...just to name a few.

*Accommodation and transport - can guests stay onsite or closeby? What transport is available to and from accommodation?

* Storage, security and logistics - can you use your own decorations, when can you bring them, how will they be stored and when you they need to be removed?

* Access - which parts of the venue are included in the hire, how long is access for? Perhaps a recovery breakfast?
