I’ve been there myself, we arrive at the venue, the place looks perfect...and then I go blank and come away realising I forgot to ask those important questions or in some case, ANY questions. We have compiled a comprehensive list of questions to ask your suppliers and although some may seem obvious it’s better to be safe than sorry, especially on such an important day.
