A recent article in Bridal Guide gave great advice on what you should be asking your wedding venue BEFORE booking your event. Often times, there are things you need to know that you may not think to ask right away. Here’s their list, along with some of our own comments.
What services does the rental fee include?
At Angel Springs your rental comes with a full 10 hour time block to enjoy your wedding day, and 1 1/2 hours for rehearsal prior to your wedding day. We provide all the tables, chiavari chairs for your indoor reception, and outdoor ceremony chairs. You have access to our built-in stereo system and wireless mics for any speeches or toasts. The Angel Springs staff does all the set-up and tear down for you, and there is an on-site building manager present throughout your entire event.
Is the rental fee cheaper if we don’t book a Saturday night?
Rental rates at Angel Springs range from $2500-$3900, with Saturday rental during peak season (March-June and October) being the highest.
Are you hosting other events before, during or after ours on the same day?
We only book one event per day at Angel Springs. Once you have secured your date, the venue is considered booked for the day and no other events are scheduled.
Can we bring in our own caterer?
Yes! We are more than happy to help with catering recommendations, and we do have package catering available as an option with your venue rental. However, we understand this is your day, and we want to make sure it includes the vendors you have chosen whether it is on our recommendation or your own finding.
What is your alcohol policy?
If you are having a bar at your event, you are required to use Angel Springs staff of bartenders. You bring in all your own alcohol that you would like served, and our bartenders dispense it.
Are your health department and insurance certificates up to date?
Yes, all insurance here at Angel Springs is current.
Are there adequate restroom facilities?
Yes. The restroom facilities at Angel Springs are adequate for accommodating up to 200 wedding guests. Our restrooms are wheelchair acessable, and the women’s does include a baby changing table.
Can you accommodate physically challenged guests?
Yes. Angel Springs has handicapped parking available, as well as certified ADA access in building and our surrounding lawn areas.
Is there air conditioning?
Your indoor reception at Angel Springs does have air conditioning (and heating for those chilly Texas winter nights).
Are there any restrictions we need to know about?
Any decorations need to be free standing. No staples, tacks or nails are allowed to hang decor. Candles are allowed, but must be in a candle holder, lamp or vase. No smoking inside the building.
What is your payment and cancellation policy?
To reserve your date at Angel Springs we require a 25% non refundable initial payment. Your balance is due 30 days prior to your event, and we can set up a payment plan if you would like. If for any reason you need to change your date a $250 fee will apply. All cancellations must be submitted in writing.
Do not be afraid to ask questions. When planning your wedding you want to make sure all the details are covered. Finding your venue is one of the first, and most important decisions you will make.
