Q I'm feeling overwhelmed by the guest list – how can I make sure my chosen venue can accommodate us all?
A David Leathem says: Venues have different capacity limits for daytime and evening guests, so clarify these numbers early on. Some places also have multiple ceremony spaces, so check how many people each one can hold, to ensure it aligns with your plans. Knowing the available layout options can also help you plan how to create an intimate or grand feel, depending on your wedding vision.

And don't forget about overnight stays! If your venue offers accommodation, find out how many guests can be hosted on-site – especially if it's in a remote location where finding hotels nearby might be tricky. While there may be an extra cost, having your guests stay on site can be a major convenience, and a great way to keep the evening party going for longer. Plus, it allows your guests to fully relax and enjoy the event without worrying about travel logistics at the end of the night.
