Spaces to hold your ceremony can be more than just a nice room! Here are some things you need to ask before you sign anything.
Check the Ceremony Licence
Not every venue room is licensed to hold a civil marriage ceremony. Ask if the room you are interested in for your Gloucester wedding ceremony holds a license as approved premises for civil ceremonies. Also check if the room is licensed for the date and time of your intended wedding ceremony.
Ask About Seated Capacity
A venue may quote a figure for fire capacity. However, this gives little indication of the true size of a room. Therefore, ask for a comfortable seated number for the ceremony room.
Find Out What the Room Allows
Some wedding ceremony spaces can have restrictions on the decorations you can use within the room. Find out what restrictions there are and whether there is natural light in the room, plus find out if you are able to change the layout of the aisle for your ceremony.
Ask About Audio Equipment
A hotel wedding venue in Gloucester for example may have a sound system for ceremonies already installed. Find out if you can play your own playlist of choice, read from a microphone and who is operating the sound on the day of your wedding.

Confirm Your Exclusive-Use Window
Find out how long before the ceremony you will have access to the room and how long after the ceremony you will have the room to yourself. This will give you an idea of whether you have enough time to set up and then clear away after the ceremony.
Ask About a Backup Space
What happens if your Ceremony Room becomes unavailable on the day? (e.g. leak, heating failure). Is there an alternative room and is it a licensed Ceremony Room?
By asking a few basic questions you can then avoid plenty of problems on the day of the wedding.
