Maximizing Your Venue Tour

What to ask, what to look for, and how Allegro helps couples visualize their day

Touring venues is one of the most exciting parts of wedding planning—it’s when the vision you’ve been dreaming about starts to come to life. But with so many details to consider, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or unsure of what to look for. To make the most of your tour at Allegro (or any wedding venue), here are some key questions to ask, things to look for, and ways we help couples picture their perfect day.

What to Ask During Your Venue Tour

1. Capacity & Layout Options:

   Ask how many guests the venue can comfortably accommodate, and whether seating or ceremony layouts can be adjusted to fit your vision. At Allegro, we offer flexible floor plans to make sure your celebration flows seamlessly. Feel free to check out our article on “How to Estimate your Guest Count” as well!

2. Weather Plans:

   Outdoor ceremonies are gorgeous, but always ask about backup options. Our Chapel, shaded outdoor spaces, and indoor halls give you peace of mind in case the weather doesn’t cooperate.

3. Included Services & Policies:

   Every venue has unique requirements—like catering, alcohol service, or coordinators. Be sure you understand what’s included and what needs to be arranged separately. At Allegro, we’re upfront about our booking requirements and preferred vendors, so you know exactly what to expect.

4. Logistics & Guest Experience:

   Ask about parking, accessibility, on-site lodging, and nearby accommodations. These details can make a big difference in guest comfort, especially for a weekend wedding.

What to Look For

• Natural Light & Views – Take note of how the venue looks at the time of day you plan to get married. At Allegro, sunset ceremonies overlooking the Hill Country are a favorite.

• Photo Opportunities – Explore the grounds and picture your portraits. Our Chapel, Live Oaks Lawn, and sweeping ridgetop views provide endless backdrops.

• Flow of the Day – Walk through how guests will move from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. Is it intuitive and easy? This helps ensure your event feels effortless.
