Touring a Wedding Venue? 10 Must-Ask Questions Before You Book in Oklahoma
Your Expert Guide from Rose Briar Place
You’re engaged—congratulations! 🎉 Now comes one of the most exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) parts of wedding planning: choosing the perfect venue.
For many couples, the venue is the biggest decision—it sets the tone, impacts your budget, and determines how smooth (or stressful) your big day will be. If you're planning your wedding in Oklahoma, touring venues is a must—but knowing the right questions to ask? That’s what helps you make a confident decision.
At Rose Briar Place, we’ve hosted hundreds of weddings for couples from Oklahoma City and beyond. Whether you’re just starting your search or ready to book, here are the top 10 questions you should ask on every venue tour, plus insider tips from the experts.
✅ 1. Is My Preferred Date Available?
It sounds simple, but availability is everything. Popular Oklahoma venues book up fast, especially for spring and fall weddings.
Pro Tip: At Rose Briar Place, we recommend touring early if you’re looking at peak months like April, May, September, or October.
✅ 2. How Many Guests Can the Space Comfortably Hold?
Always ask about capacity—for both ceremonies and receptions. You’ll want enough room for your guests to celebrate comfortably, without paying for unused space.
At Rose Briar Place:
✔️ Intimate ceremonies or grand celebrations welcome
✔️ Indoor & outdoor flexibility
✔️ Options for guest counts of various sizes
✅ 3. What’s Included with the Wedding Packages?
Not all venues are created equal. Some provide “venue only,” while others offer stress-free, all-inclusive packages (spoiler: we do!).
Ask about:
✔️ Tables, chairs, linens, and décor
✔️ Setup and teardown
✔️ Catering options
✔️ Wedding cake
✔️ Coordination services
✔️ Access to bridal and groom suites
The more that’s included, the easier your planning process becomes.
✅ 4. Do You Offer In-House Coordination?
A dedicated wedding coordinator can make or break your day. They keep everything running smoothly, solve problems, and let you actually enjoy your wedding.
At Rose Briar Place, our expert coordinator supports you:
✔️ From the moment you book
✔️ Through planning meetings
✔️ On your wedding day from setup to grand exit
✅ 5. What is the Weather Backup Plan?
Oklahoma weather can be unpredictable—sunshine, rain, even windstorms. Always ask how the venue handles last-minute weather changes.
Our venue offers:
✔️ Indoor and outdoor ceremony options
✔️ Seamless transitions if plans shift
✔️ Covered patios for mingling, rain or shine
✅ 6. Can We Bring in Outside Vendors?
Some venues restrict outside vendors. Be sure to ask about policies for:
✔️ DJs, bands, or live music
✔️ Florists and décor companies
✔️ Specialty catering or cultural dishes
We proudly allow flexibility with trusted vendors and also offer curated recommendations from our Rose Briar Dream Team.
✅ 7. What Amenities Are Available for the Bridal Party?
Comfortable, private spaces for getting ready are essential. At Rose Briar Place, we provide:
✔️ Spacious bridal suite with full-length mirrors and vanities
✔️ Professional-grade steamer with distilled water included
✔️ Groom’s suite with seating and prep space
✔️ On-site parking for easy arrival
These details make your day more relaxed for everyone.
✅ 8. Are Tables, Linens, and Décor Provided?
Renting tables, chairs, and linens separately adds up fast. Ask exactly what’s included—and see samples during your tour.
We include:
✔️ Tables, chairs, and beautiful linen options
✔️ Centerpieces, chargers, and glassware
✔️ Flexible décor choices to match your vision
✅ 9. How Long Do We Have Access to the Venue?
Some venues limit access to a few hours, causing stressful setups. At Rose Briar Place, our packages offer generous access windows, giving you time to:
✔️ Get ready on-site
✔️ Relax before the ceremony
✔️ Enjoy your reception without feeling rushed
✅ 10. What Sets This Venue Apart from Others?
Every venue claims to be the best—but the details matter. At Rose Briar Place, we pride ourselves on being one of the top-rated wedding venues in Oklahoma City for a reason:
✔️ All-inclusive, stress-free packages
✔️ Indoor-outdoor flexibility
✔️ Dedicated coordination from booking to grand exit
✔️ Stunning photo locations
✔️ Pet-friendly wedding options
