This week in the Wedding Venue Owners & Managers Community the topics were definitely hot and sometimes heated! Most people have no idea how much our wedding venue owners & managers go through to successfully manage weddings with hundreds of guests, ten or more wedding vendors, decor from ceiling to floor, wild weather, rogue children, set up, floor plans, CHANGES – so many changes, schedules, alcohol and the unexpected surprises that come along. This week on the In Case You Missed It, Wedding Hot Topics Podcast, we look at some of the posts in the Wedding Venue Owners & Managers Community that generated the most responses and feedback. Our wedding superstars at We Do Weddings & The Ma Maison, share their advice backed by years of hands on wedding venue and wedding planning experience.
“What do you do if a prospective couple wants to keep visiting the venue, touring the property and sending you email after email of questions and concerns?” One venue owner posted that she has exchanged over 80 emails already with a prospective bride. This bride has already visited the venue multiple times and wants to come back out for another tour! What do you do when there is a prospective client that just won’t sign the contract but is taking up hours and hours of your time? Find out what our expert panel has to say in the video.

“How do you remove a wedding vendor from your vendor list or tell couples a vendor is banned from your property?” Most often venue owners want to avoid conflict that could lead to backlash from removing a vendor from your recommended vendor list or banning a vendor outright. Professional vendors can help you make magic at your wedding venue. Bad vendors with poor standards of professionalism can not only ruin a wedding experience, they can damage your property and increase venue liability. So, when a vendor is violating your policies or lacking common sense, you have to take action to protect your wedding venue & wedding guest experience. YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT KAREN CAUGHT A VENDOR DOING DURING A WEDDING!! Watch the video and share your comments below about issues you have experienced with vendors and how you solved them?

“How do you handle liquor related problems?” This question comes up so often in the Wedding Venue Owners & Managers Community Facebook Group. How do you handle wedding guests sneaking in alcohol or having trunk bar parties in the parking lot? More and more venue owners are adding security to their events. Many venues no longer allow shots, mixed drinks only. What are the smart solutions you have implemented at your wedding venue?
