Regardless if you are celebrating your marriage at one of the many Coffs Coast premier wedding venues, or anywhere in Australia, it is really important you know what to ask your venue provider.  I have listed a few questions that you can keep handy when you are deciding the best venue to suit your special day.

 

  • What dates are available in the month you are considering?
  • What is the room hire fee and what is included in that price?
  • Is there a discount for booking an off season date or a Monday to Friday wedding?
  • How much is the deposit, when is it die and is it refundable?
  • Are the ceremony and reception locations mobility impaired accessible?
  • What’s the venues weather contingency plan for outdoor spaces?
  • What is the cancellation policy?
  • What time can your vendors, including me, start setting up on the day of the wedding or is it possible to setup the day before?
  • Where is the pre-reception area located?
  • Does the venue have any in house caterers?
  • Can the venue do a menu tasting prior to finalising your menu selection?
  • Is there free parking onsite?
  • Will the co-ordinator supervise on the day, right through to the conclusion of your wedding?
  • What overnight accommodation does the venue provide?  Do they offer a discount for your guests?
  • Does the venue supply you the bridal couple  with a complimentary room or upgrade on the evening of the wedding?
  • How many weddings are at the venue each day?
  • Is there a minimum spend?
  • What will the wedding co-ordinator take care of and organise for you?

  • There is no possible way to thank you for the effort that you went to, to make our ceremony as personal and perfect as it was.  Almost two months on people are still talking about how wonderful you and our ceremony was.  Thank you so much Simon from the bottom of our hearts.  You made our day perfect.

  • Dear Simon. Thank you for making our day perfect and absolutely memorable. So many of our family and friends commented on your ceremony and how your professionalism and presentation along with your caring and understanding nature assisted with what was a truly remarkable experience. Thank you for including our son throughout the proceedings and a huge thank you for being so understanding towards the interesting dynamics of our families and parents.

  • Brett and I would just like to thank you once again for being the celebrant for our wedding at Boat Harbour Beach. You were above and beyond all of our expectations. It was obvious that you made a real effort to get to know us individually and as a couple, but what really stood out to me is that you REALLY listened to what we wanted to portray about us and our love. You set the mood beautifully and everyone has commented on what a beautiful, fun and romantic ceremony it was. Thank you for giving us exactly what we wanted and we feel any other couple will be lucky to have you as their celebrant. We can’t recommend you anymore highly.

    Kara and Brett
