2.Are there any events running at the same time?

3.How about any events running before your wedding?

12.Ask the banquet manager to advise on how not to run into another bride if there is another wedding running at the same time?

13.Check if the place provide video projector if you need one for video presentation.

14.Check with the banquet manager if you are allowed to use candles as decorations (if it is one of your priority) as the wax may damage their carpet

27.Do they offer a food tasting session after you have confirmed with them on the wedding venue? (I personally have not come across a caterer or hotel that offers food tasting without signing on the

dotted line as preparing food for even 2 persons is a lot of work; but do watch out for wedding shows, because sometimes they provide food tasting on the spot)

28.How many variations of menus are there?

30.If you chose to let your guests sample one of your own signature dish (maybe your family dish) will they charge you extra for serving?
