Selecting exclusive use wedding abroad venues in Europe
It goes without saying that when selecting any supplier for your wedding abroad it’s important to do your research! Look out for the little things….if you want to be partying long into the night ensure that there are no music or other restrictions….does the venue have a policy about using only recommended suppliers? Ensure you know exactly what is and isn’t included in the fee. Keep in mind that you may also wish to hire your own wedding planner to work alongside those provided by the venue.
