Choosing the perfect wedding venue is quite literally the largest decision you'll make while planning your big day. Beyond aesthetics and capacity, evaluating the amenities and services offered is crucial to ensure everything runs smoothly. Here’s a guide to help you assess a wedding venue effectively.
consider Venue Capacity and Layout
Start by checking the venue's capacity to ensure it can comfortably accommodate your guest list. Consider the layout: does it provide ample space for dining, dancing, and mingling? An ideal venue should also have flexible layouts that can be adjusted to fit different styles of weddings.

Accommodations for Vendors
Consider the needs of your vendors as well. Does the venue provide space for DJ or band equipment, and is there a designated area for vendors to set up? Some venues may have restrictions on when setup can occur, so make sure to clarify these details.
At the Amazing Graze Barn, we love working with vendors to ensure they are comfortable and equipped to do their job well. Whether you use a Preferred Vendor from our list or get approval to bring a new vendor; we will assist in the smooth planning and execution of your day.
Aesthetic and Ambiance
While amenities are crucial, the aesthetic of the venue also plays a significant role in your wedding ambiance. Assess if the style aligns with your vision. Take note of natural lighting, décor, and the overall atmosphere. Some venues may offer additional décor services, which can save time and effort.

Restroom Facilities
An often-overlooked aspect, restrooms should be clean, easily accessible, and adequately sized for the number of guests. Assess if the venue has enough facilities to handle your guest count, especially during peak times.
Here at the Amazing Graze Barn, our restrooms are easily accessible and located on the bottom floor of our barn.
Package Options and Pricing
Review the pricing structure and what’s included in the venue packages. Are tables, chairs, linens, and décor included or offered at an additional cost? Understanding these details will help you budget more accurately.
