Questions to ask the venue
- Are my dates available, and how large a room block can you hold on-site?
- What is the best available rate and room-block term for my dates?
- What are the real per-space capacities for my layout (ballroom, marquee, beach)?
- What beach-function permits, sound limits and night-time noise cutoffs apply?
- What Indian / Jain catering options exist, and are outside caterers allowed?
