Venue
Search apples to apples while creating a list of what each venue offers.
example: decor is not all the same ( we provide decor for our couples from Burrow+ BASH with over 5k options) while others have a little closet of dusty items or left overs from past weddings.
Food + Catering
More people means more costs
Determine your "look" or style. Food Truck, plated or buffet.
Time of day will determine portion sizes.
How much do you want to spend per guest?
Food prices are all over- Pasta, Steak or Chicken.
Remember to look at travel fees, bussing tables, service fees etc.
Are plates, flatware, cups, ice and chargers included?
Florals + Decorations
Greenery doesn't mean cheaper. Flowers are not cheap, faux or real.
Determine your budget and work backwards
Do not ask for the cheapest just ask for pricing.
You get what you pay for- determine if you are sold on specific flower or color pattern.
Relay the message of over all style.
Does the venue provide faux flowers and from where?
Can you back-fill with real and faux to create the look?

Do not hire your personal friend that is not a professional.
Interview your favorites to determine if you are a good fit.
