The Ultimate Questions to Ask When Choosing Your Dream Wedding Venue

Choosing the perfect wedding venue can feel like a daunting task, with so many different styles of venue on offer, but it’s also one of the most exciting parts of planning your big day!

After all, the venue sets the tone for everything—from the decor to the guest experience. To make your search a little easier (and stress-free), we’ve rounded up some key questions to ask when you’re venue-hunting.

1. What’s Included in the Package?
Every venue has its own way of bundling services. Ask about catering options, decorations, and any extras like a cake stand or table linens. The more you know, the fewer surprises you’ll face later!

Here at Mytton Fold Hotel, our package includes all that you might need as standard, meaning you don’t have to worry about tying up all those loose ends by yourself.

We take care of the catering, wedding stationery, table linens and crockery, cake stand and knife, easel, DJ for your evening reception, and much more.

2. Can It Comfortably Fit Your Guest List?
Knowing your guest count is crucial before committing to a space. Will it feel cosy or cramped? At Mytton Fold Hotel, for example, there are versatile spaces to accommodate intimate gatherings or grand celebrations.

We are one of the Ribble Valley's largest wedding spaces, comfortably accommodating any wedding party up to 200.

3. What’s the Plan B for Weather?
If you’re dreaming of an outdoor wedding, this is a big one. Check whether the venue has a backup indoor option. Mytton Fold offers both lush outdoor settings and elegant indoor spaces—perfect for all seasons.

Should you be dead set on an outdoor wedding, we’ll set this ready, if there’s am unfortunate bout of rain, our team will move the set up inside.

4. Is Accommodation Available for Guests?
Having overnight options makes life easier for any out-of-town guests (and keeps the celebration going for longer!). Venues like Mytton Fold Hotel have cosy rooms for your guests to stay the night, available to all wedding guests at a discounted rate.\

5. What’s the Vibe of the Venue?
When you walk in, can you picture saying “I do” there? Does it align with your wedding theme? Some venues, like Mytton Fold, bring a mix of charm and elegance, with neutral décor and breathtaking countryside views.
