Questions: 16 · 10 minutes
1. A venue advertises space for 150 people, and you expect 145 guests. What should you confirm before booking?
Whether the standing capacity exceeds 150, even if dinner will be seated
Whether the venue has previously hosted a wedding of any size
Whether unused ceremony chairs can be stored after guests arrive
Whether the planned layout safely accommodates guests, vendors, furniture, and needed access routes
2. Your guest list may change shortly before seating assignments are finalized. Which approach is most practical?
Delay fixed printed assignments until late updates are processed and keep a method for corrections
Assign only table sizes and let all guests choose their own seats on arrival
Print the final seating display before the RSVP deadline to avoid rush fees
Seat every unconfirmed guest and remove empty chairs during dinner
3. What is the clearest way to manage plus-ones when estimating the guest count?
Assume every unmarried adult will bring someone
Exclude plus-ones until they independently contact the couple
Decide on a consistent policy and clearly indicate who is invited on each invitation or RSVP form
Add a fixed percentage to the list without naming additional invitees
4. You are planning an outdoor ceremony during a season with unpredictable weather. Which preparation is most useful?
Check a long-range forecast before signing contracts and treat it as final
Secure a workable backup plan and define when and how the weather decision will be made
Wait until guests arrive before deciding whether to change locations
Schedule the ceremony earlier, since rain is always less likely in the morning
5. Several vendors and their assistants will work through the reception. How should vendor meals be handled?
Review contract requirements and confirm meal counts, dietary needs, timing, and location with the caterer
Count every vendor as a regular guest without checking their schedule or contract
Order meals only for vendors who remain until the final song
Assume vendors will bring food unless they request a meal at the reception
6. What is the most useful purpose of a photography shot list?
To prescribe every camera setting the photographer should use
To identify priority people, groupings, and meaningful details that could otherwise be missed
To guarantee that every candid moment will occur as planned
To replace the need to discuss the photographer's working style
7. A vendor asks for a deposit to secure your date. What should you do before paying?
Review a written contract covering services, payment terms, changes, and cancellation
Rely on the proposal because a separate agreement is only needed after payment
Pay first, then request the cancellation policy closer to the wedding
Confirm only the event date and settle the remaining details verbally
8. A catering proposal includes a 20% service charge. What should you conclude about gratuity?
Deduct the service charge from the food total when calculating the final bill
Treat the service charge as gratuity because the terms always mean the same thing
Assume gratuity is legally prohibited whenever a service charge appears
Ask the caterer what the charge covers and whether gratuity is included rather than assuming
9. What is the main purpose of including a contingency amount in a wedding budget?
To calculate the deposits due before the wedding
To reserve money that must be divided equally among vendors
To cover unexpected costs or necessary last-minute changes
To track gifts received from invited guests
10. Which statement about obtaining a marriage license is accurate?
A license issued anywhere is automatically valid for a ceremony in every jurisdiction
The officiant is always responsible for obtaining the license for the couple
The application process is identical for civil and religious ceremonies worldwide
Requirements and timing vary by jurisdiction, so couples should verify them with the relevant local authority
11. Two vendors provide similar-looking quotes at different prices. What is the fairest way to compare them?
Choose the quote with more line items because it necessarily includes more service
Compare only the initial amount due because later payments can be renegotiated
Compare included services, quantities, staffing, taxes, fees, overtime terms, and change policies
Remove taxes and mandatory fees from both totals before comparing value
12. A guest uses a wheelchair, and the venue says it is accessible. What should the couple verify?
Only whether the main entrance has a ramp
The complete route and relevant facilities, including entrances, seating, restrooms, and transitions between spaces
Only whether accessible parking is available near the property
Whether another guest can provide assistance if barriers appear
13. A guest reports a serious food allergy. What is the most appropriate planning response?
Remove the ingredient from the couple's meals so the overall menu remains unchanged
Add a general note to the menu and let the guest identify suitable dishes on the day
Record the details, share them with the caterer, and confirm what accommodations are feasible
Assume a vegetarian option will also satisfy allergy requirements
14. Families are offering strong and conflicting opinions before the couple has booked anything. What planning step is most likely to reduce repeated disputes?
Agree privately on priorities, boundaries, budget authority, and a decision process
Let each family choose vendors for a different part of the day
Avoid discussing preferences until deposits make the main decisions final
Give the final decision to whichever person first suggested the wedding idea
15. How should a couple usually choose the RSVP deadline printed on invitations?
Set it exactly one month after invitations are mailed, regardless of vendor needs
Work back from final vendor deadlines and leave time to contact nonresponders
Match it exactly to the caterer's final deadline, leaving no time for follow-up
Use the wedding date minus seven days so responses stay current
16. When building the wedding-day timeline, what is the soundest method?
Give every activity the same amount of time to keep the schedule simple
Plan only the ceremony and reception start times so the rest can remain spontaneous
Schedule each vendor independently and combine their timelines on the wedding morning
Work around fixed commitments, estimate transitions realistically, and include reasonable buffers
