THE ULTIMATE WAY
to Plan Your Wedding! Premier Weddings Interactive, 360° Virtual Venue Tours
Planning a wedding is no small task. It can be very stressful and we know your time is precious. The first and most important step is to choose a venue and Premier Weddings has completely revolutionized the way you can tour local venues. Say goodbye to driving countless miles and spending your weekends touring venues and visiting open houses, only to find the best weekends have already booked. With our tours, you can
virtually tour the venues from the comfort of your home. Narrow down your choices so you only visit your favorites in person. Our tours are a helpful tool not only for booking your venue but also for planning the rest of the details.
Choosing Your Venue Once you say “Yes!” and start sporting your new bling the clock starts ticking on booking your venue. The best venues book up quickly - sometimes up to a
year in advance! If you want to land your dream venue on your favorite date, it’s critical to do your research quickly and book your venue as soon as possible. Another reason you need to book your venue ASAP is because so many of your other wedding decisions hinge on your venue. Your theme, guest count, vendors, and budget are just a few of the decisions that are influenced by your venue. Our virtual venue tours will give you a 360 degree view of the venue and details about its accommodations. You can view each room or area from floor to ceiling, click information icons to

learn important details, navigate the floor plan of the venue, view image and video galleries, and so much more!
Planning Your Wedding You will love the freedom our venue tours give you to “pop in” and see the venue anytime. Family and friends that live thousands of miles away will be able to envision your plans and give meaningful feedback as if they were right there with you. You can also use the tours at meetings with your wedding vendors to collaborate on specific layouts and placements of every detail of your wedding as if you were at the venue!

Important Questions to Ask Your Wedding Venue Scheduling and Accommodations
Is my wedding date available? How many other weddings are scheduled that day? How many people can the venue accommodate? How long will I have use of the event space(s) I reserve? Is there an overtime fee if I stay longer? Can I hold my ceremony here, too? If so, is there an additional charge? Is there a bride’s changing area? How much time is allocated for the rehearsal? Is there room for a band and/or dancing? Are there adequate bathroom facilities? Is there a coat check? Is the site handicap accessible? Is there parking on site? If so, is it complimentary? Do you offer valet parking?
Money Matters
What is the venue fee and what is included in that price? Is there a discount for booking an off-season date or Sunday through Friday? How much is the deposit, when is it due, and is it refundable? What’s the cancellation policy? What’s the payment plan for the entire bill?
General Questions
Is there a backup plan for rain or inclement weather? Who is responsible for setting up and tearing down the decor, and when will it be completed? Does the venue have liability insurance? Will there be security guards on site, or do I need to make my own arrangements?
