Reception Venue Questionnaire – What to Ask!

We know, we know…there are so many reception venues in Omaha and they all offer a variety of different services, where do you even start when going to go check them out? Some venues have different rules for bringing food in to the facility, some have rules about staffing, there are different rules about deposits and cancellations. DC Centre has been a reception venue for over 30 years, so we’ve picked up a few things that may be useful to you. We’ve adjusted our model over the years to make sure that it is the easiest possible process for you as a client. Less unknowns, less to worry about!

Here is a list of questions that you can ask any reception venue not only for wedding venues in Omaha but any city, the answers are only good and bad depending on what you want. This will just give you a better idea of what you may want to know:

  • What is your payment policy?
  • Can I have my ceremony at your facility?
  • Do you offer event insurance?
  • Is there lodging nearby?
  • What is your cancellation policy?
  • How much is required for a deposit?
  • Do I pay for security?
  • What is the latest time my event can conclude?
  • Who does the clean-up?
  • What vendors do I have to use for my cake, music, photos, etc?
  • When can I bring decorations or drop off items for my reception?
  • Can I bring my own liquor?
  • Do you have guest minimums?
  • What kind of discounts do you offer?
  • What is the price range for a sit-down or a buffet dinner?
  • Is there a dance floor?
