The 5 Most Important Questions to Ask Before Booking a Wedding Venue
If you’re newly engaged and starting the search for your dream wedding venue in Oklahoma, it can feel overwhelming. With so many options, how do you know which one is the right fit for your big day?
The truth is, not all wedding venues are created equal—and asking the right questions up front can save you stress, time, and even thousands of dollars. At Rose Briar Place, we believe in full transparency, so we’ve outlined the top five questions every couple should ask before signing on the dotted line—and why our answers make us one of the most trusted venues in Oklahoma.
1. What’s Included in the Price—Are There Hidden Fees?
One of the biggest frustrations couples face is unexpected costs that pop up after they’ve already booked. Many venues advertise a “base price” but charge extra for essentials like tables, chairs, linens, or even security.
👉 At Rose Briar Place, our quotes are start-to-finish with no hidden fees. Your price includes the venue, setup, teardown, tables, chairs, linens, napkins, wait staff, and more. What you see is what you get—so you can plan your budget with confidence.
2. Can We Bring Our Own Catering or Alcohol?
Food and drinks are a big part of your celebration, so flexibility matters. Some venues lock you into expensive in-house catering or don’t allow outside alcohol.
👉 At Rose Briar Place, we offer both:
You can use our in-house catering or bring in your own food (perfect for cultural dishes or family favorites).
You can bring your own alcohol. We even provide a list of trusted bartenders to serve it safely and keep it cold in our coolers until it’s time to celebrate.
That flexibility means your wedding reflects your style—and your budget.
3. What Happens If the Weather Doesn’t Cooperate?
Outdoor weddings in Oklahoma are stunning, but weather is always unpredictable. Some venues don’t have a backup plan, leaving couples scrambling for solutions.
👉 At Rose Briar Place, you never have to worry. We offer both indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces, and you don’t have to decide until the day of your wedding. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we seamlessly move your ceremony inside—at no extra charge.
4. Do You Provide a Coordinator and Staff on the Wedding Day?
This is one of the most overlooked questions—but one of the most important. Without a coordinator, couples (or their families) often get stuck managing timelines, vendors, and last-minute issues instead of enjoying the day.
👉 Every wedding at Rose Briar Place includes:
A day-of coordinator who manages your timeline from rehearsal to send-off.
A full wait staff who sets up, serves, cuts the cake, clears tables, and handles cleanup.
Onsite management available before and during your event.
This means you and your family can relax and focus on celebrating—not logistics.
5. What Amenities Are Included for the Wedding Party?
Your wedding day should feel like a VIP experience for both of you—not just the bride. Some venues don’t provide getting-ready suites or charge extra for them.
👉 At Rose Briar Place, both the bride and groom enjoy private suites with thoughtful amenities:
Bridal Suite: Snacks, a stocked fridge, private access to the garden, and space for hair and makeup.
Groom’s Suite: Xbox, cable TV, private entrance, stocked fridge, and plenty of space to hang out before “I do.”
Because both of you deserve to feel celebrated and relaxed.
Why These Questions Matter
Asking these questions upfront ensures you’re not hit with surprise costs, limited options, or unnecessary stress. And while some venues may fall short, Rose Briar Place checks every box—transparently, affordably, and with the highest-rated service in Oklahoma.
