What to Expect on a Virtual Venue Tour

Are you venue shopping from a distance or finding yourself too busy with work to visit venues in person? If you're eager to secure your wedding venue and start planning but feel short on time for in-person tours, a virtual venue tour can be a fantastic solution!

Our team at Wedgewood Weddings has thoughtfully curated virtual tours that allow couples to explore potential venues from the comfort of their homes. These tours provide the same experience and personalized attention as our in-person consultations, ensuring you have all the information needed to make this important decision.

what should you expect with a virtual tour?

First, head over to our venue pages here and select the location that interests you most. Our contact center is available seven days a week to help you arrange a convenient time for your virtual tour. Once a time is set in place with a venue (or venues!), you will receive a confirmation email. We recommend checking out our all-inclusive packages in advance, too!

A few days before your virtual venue consultation, you'll receive an email with a link to your personal conference. Our venues use Zoom, Teams, or Google Hangouts to meet with you - let them know if you have questions or need any help getting set up, 

At the time of the scheduled tour, grab a glass of wine or a mug of coffee, find a comfy spot to set up with your partner, and log into the platform using the unique link provided to you. Your wedding expert will give you a rundown of the consultation itinerary so you know what to expect. At the start of your call, our wedding experts will get to know you, go through a bit more detail on how Wedgewood Weddings works, and then tell you about their venue - this is where you get a personal tour! Finally, you'll go over our wedding packages, and your wedding expert will put together a custom pricing proposal for you!  

All our venues have beautiful presentations showcasing their venue spaces. Some have also put together video tours or have videos of real weddings that you can review in your own time. We want to provide a full picture of what your ceremony and reception space will look like, so you can truly envision your wedding.
