How much time in advance should I book a wedding venue?

You can’t really set a wedding date until you’ve secured a lovely venue for your wedding reception (and ceremony). The sooner you tackle this task, the better. Most people try to organise a venue 10 to 12 months in advance, if possible. Wedding venues in Cape Town can get booked out very quickly.

What services are included in the rental fee of a wedding venue?

Many reception halls provide catering services and all the necessary equipment (tables, chairs, linens, tableware and so on). On the other hand, there are wedding venues in Cape Town that only rent out the room, and require you to take care of equipment rentals. The wedding venue usually has a manager that you can consult while planning and working out how you’ll use the space.

Will it be cheaper to rent wedding venues on Friday or Sunday?

If you book the wedding venue on a Friday or Sunday night, you’re likely get a lower rate. Rental fees also vary per month. You’ll get a better deal if you book a date during low season (usually considered the winter months). If you’re interested in saving money, have your wedding during these times. However, it might be difficult for guests to take time off and attend the wedding.

Can two weddings happen at the same venue?

Yes, it is a possibility at some wedding venues in Cape Town. Try to avoid booking a banquet hall that’s hosting another wedding simultaneously. Most high-end wedding venues in Cape Town will only cater to one wedding at a time anyway. Ultimately, you want the staff’s attention to be focused entirely on your event. It’s more common for venues to book an afternoon and evening wedding on the same day, which usually isn’t a problem.

What is the alcohol policy at wedding venues?

Every wedding venue in Cape Town is different and it’s important enquire with the venue manager beforehand. Your catering fee might include a full open bar, for which you’ll be charged either a flat fee or by the hour. Alternatively, you may have the option to be charged based on what, and how much, your guests consume.

Do wedding venues accommodate physically challenged guests?

Most buildings will have ramps and elevators. However, it’s important to do a walk-through to see for yourself how well these features will meet the needs of any wheelchair-bound persons. These are the kinds of things you can verify with your wedding venue manager. In addition, it might be a possibility to install temporary ramps.

Are there any restrictions at wedding venues?

If the wedding venue is located in a heavily residential area in Cape Town, you may be legally required to close down your reception party at a certain hour. In addition, you should also ask about fire hazards. There are certain wedding venues in Cape Town that do not allow the use of taper candles or sparklers, for instance.

What are the payment and cancellation policies?

Upon signing a contract, you might be asked to provide a security deposit. Make sure you check what circumstances allow for a refund.
