Quick answer: Ask about event fees, daytime event capacity, vendor parking and access, noise and curfew restrictions, and whether the property has hosted a similarly sized wedding before.
Why it matters: These five questions cover nearly every common surprise couples encounter when a villa wedding doesn’t go as smoothly as expected.
The short answer: Get written answers to all five questions before paying a deposit, not verbal reassurances during a phone call.
What to check:
- Have you gotten a written breakdown of event fees separate from the nightly rate?
- Does the daytime event capacity match your actual guest list?
- Has the property confirmed its experience hosting a wedding your size before?
The bottom line: These five questions, asked directly and answered in writing, prevent nearly all the common villa wedding planning mistakes.
