Quick answer: Unclear event fees, inadequate vendor access and parking, capacity mismatches between overnight and daytime event limits, and unexpected noise curfews.
Why it matters: These issues are avoidable, but only if they’re raised directly with the property before booking rather than discovered during the final week of planning.
The short answer: Most villa wedding problems trace back to assumptions that weren’t confirmed in writing before the deposit was paid.
What to check:
- Have you confirmed event fees in writing, separate from the nightly rate?
- Does the property have a clear plan for vendor parking and access on the wedding day?
- Have you asked specifically about daytime event capacity, which is often different from overnight sleeping capacity?
The bottom line: A direct written conversation covering these four areas before booking prevents nearly all the common villa wedding surprises.
