| Wedding Lodging Facility | Both bride and groom are recommended to be involved in the decision making and interviews.
You should have a note pad and pen handy, if you interview potential wedding vendors in person or by phone, to write down important information and questions that may arise during your interview. Interviewing them by email, print every communication and keep it in a folder.
Questions for the representative of the lodging facility:

How many wedding clients have you served?
Do you offer any guarantees?
