ST POLL: You have rented a hall for a wedding. What if any amenities and customer service do you expect?.....

Posted by Walt_Disney (aka Walt_Disney) Sep 21 '15, 08:22

We hosted a wedding this weekend which went very well but there is a discussion in our office about what we (amenities and customer service) should provide any future similar types of events.

Please remember that my workplace is a campground and retreat centre and that may factor into your thoughts.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Thanks for everyone's thoughts. Part of my question was for marketing purposes and your answers help a lot. -- nm - Walt_Disney Sep 21, 08:47 3
- the one thing I might suggest would be having a list of preferred vendors to refer people to -- (edited) - znufrii Sep 21, 08:54 2
  - yep (but don't make it mandatory, just preferred. vendors who know your site and know what they need.) -- nm - Andie Sep 21, 08:55 1
    - 'zactly -- nm - znufrii Sep 21, 08:56
depends on the nature of the space, and how much I'm paying. -- (edited) - znufrii Sep 21, 08:39
for a place such as yours, only basics. white tablecloths. set up and clean up. (for both ceremony and reception). - Andie Sep 21, 08:37 1
- (i mean, i agree with others - just be upfront with what there is, but those are things that would be helpful to most weddings) -- nm - Andie Sep 21, 08:38
As long as you are upfront with what you'll do it doesn't matter. - spamlet Sep 21, 08:28 2
- (As long as it's priced accordingly as well.) -- nm - Ender Sep 21, 08:33 1
  - Well, yeah but if you're priced at a full service price and provide no service no one will book you. -- nm - spamlet Sep 21, 08:34
i have? who's the lucky girl? -- nm - jangles Sep 21, 08:28
I think it varies wildly from venue to venue and is certainly a way to differentiate yourself. -- (edited) - Volnelk Sep 21, 08:27
I expect whatever I paid for and whatever the hall has promised. For instance... - Jim Sep 21, 08:27
clean up afterwards, set up ( chairs?), access to water/sinks, clean restrooms -- nm - Pippy with chopsticks Sep 21, 08:25
strippers and a kegerator to start -- nm - decline Sep 21, 08:24
only what they have requested. Otherwise may be wasting time and money on stuff the couple is bringing themselves -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 08:24
