Do’s and Don’ts When Touring Wedding Venues in Omaha, NE
When you’re planning your wedding, you can’t help but picture the perfect place to get married. The perfect place to party the night away, surrounded by all the people you love. Right here in Omaha, the Omaha Event Group can help provide you with your dream wedding venue. With a few different venue options, we can help make your wedding dream a reality. But before you say “yes” to one of our beautiful Omaha locations, we have a “dos” and ‘don’ts” for you to keep in mind when touring our locations to find your perfect fit:
Do’s
1. Do Schedule Your Tour In Advance
Our spaces tend to fill up quickly, so make sure you book ahead of time to come check us out. We want to make sure you love the place, so make sure you look ahead, especially if you plan to have your wedding during peak wedding season.
2. Do Bring a List of Questions
If you don’t know much about what we offer, come prepared with as many questions as you need to get answers so you’re comfortable during your planning process. Whether it’s about catering, what our vendor policies are, parking options, or about the rental fee in general, we want to make sure you walk away confident that we are the venue for you.
3. Do Pay Attention to Guest Flow and Space
Imagine what you’ve always dreamed of while walking through one of our spaces. How will you want your layout to look, with the ceremony and reception, and how will people best be able to flow about the space during your event? Think about what dancing will look like, where you’ll want the food to be, and where to best place your sweetheart table. If you can picture it, we can make it happen.
4. Do Take Photos and Notes
Touring our multiple locations can be overwhelming, especially since we offer so many great options. Make sure you take loads of pictures and make any notes you’ll need to ease your mind and make the best choice for you and your day in the end.
Don’ts
1. Don’t Ignore the Budget During The Tour
Take some time to look into what we charge per venue, then go into your tour, understand what you’ll be paying, and what else budget-wise you will need going forward. Make sure you choose according to what you’ve planned in your budget, so it leaves out stress and worry.
2. Don’t Ignore Parking and Accessibility Needs For Your Guests
Making sure your guests are comfortable and able to get to and from the location with ease matters. Triple check with us about parking options, shuttle options, and accessibility options for any friends or family members who may need the extra help.
3. Don’t Assume Anything, And Everything Is Included At The Venue
While we do offer plenty of options for you to have anything ready and available, we don’t offer everything. Make sure to ask us what we do offer and make your choices based on that. Always confirm and ask us what is and isn’t included, even if we discuss it together - never hurts to double-check everything.
4. Don’t Ignore Timing
We still are a public venue, and there are time restrictions we do have. Make sure you are aware of how long you will be able to have the space for yourself, how early you can come in to set up, and how long it will take to tear down everything. Add all of that up, and that will equal your total time in the venue. You will be able to best schedule your day according to how much time you get in your overall pricing.
You’re about to tour your potential wedding venue - this is exciting! Make sure to go in with an open mind and a thought-out plan so you can be fully prepared to find the exact space for what you’re envisioning. Whatever you have in mind, we can help make it a reality. Schedule your tour today with the venue of your dreams so we can get you one step closer to your big day.
