Wedding Venue Back Up Plan

So now that you have found your perfect wedding venue, you hope that everything runs as scheduled on your wedding day, but what if there's a snag in your plans, like bad weather?

 

Have a back-up plan. Ask your wedding coordinator or your venue to discus back up options for your wedding, in case of a last minute concern, For example, if it rains, where will your outdoor cocktail hour be moved? If it's very hot, will misters be available to cool guests during an outdoor ceremony?



Is insurance recommended? Some venues require extra insurance, such a liability insurance, in case something goes wrong. Other times, couples buy the insurance to protect against problems like losing a job and not being able to pay for the wedding or having to book new services if a vendor cancels. Through companies like WedSure, you can buy wedding insurance for your own peace of mind or to satisfy a venue's insurance requirements. 

     Working with professionals is the best way to go. Some venues require that each and every vendor also carry at least business insurance. This can be problematic if you are using a small company who is not insured or a family member. Before your wedding day, find out the venue's expectations about your vendors so that you are mot surprised on your wedding day. Your wedding coordinator should inform you of your venue and vendor insurance requirements. There are several reputable online companies from which you can purchase wedding day insurance.
