Booking a hall for your wedding reception
Tips for booking a hall for your reception: (highly recommended!!!)
-The best advice I can give is to pay a little bit extra if possible to have the hall clean-up done for you! It is worth every penny. This extra fee saves you from worrying about taking down chairs and tables, moping, etc. There is nothing your close friends and family will appreciate more than getting to leave at the end of the night without any responsibilities once they have seen the bride and groom off.
-Make sure the hall is available the evening/ day before so that you can go in and decorate as well as bring all your wedding supplies over early. You don't to be setting up the hall the same day as your hair, make-up, etc. Way too hectic.
-If you want to save on costs and are providing liquor to your guests, be sure to get a liquor licence. Also, check your local legislation on bringing home-made liquor onto the premises. For example, in Calgary it is prohibited.
