Quick tip: It's very easy to miss checking the little details that can make a big difference in your aesthetic and budget. When you are scouting possible venues for your wedding ceremony and reception, make a check list of things to ask to view. Why?

So be sure to include the following very important items on your check list:
Standard chairs
Standard Linens (for guest tables and food tables)
China, Silver & Glassware
Dance floor
Tables (make sure you get the available sizes)
Also take note of:
