Here are two factors engaged couples should consider when choosing an all-inclusive wedding event venue.
How much package-customisation each venue offers
Even couples who choose to have an all-inclusive wedding to reduce how many decisions they have to make during the wedding planning will normally want to be able to personalise a few parts of the package they select. As such, when looking at hotels and other establishments that are all-inclusive wedding venues, a couple should carefully review how much wedding package customisation each venue allows. Most venues like this will offer some customisation options, but the degree to which they allow their clients to customise their wedding packages may vary.
If a couple wants to decide what flavour, size and shape their wedding cake is, they should ensure the all-inclusive venue they're considering booking allows clients to make these customisations to the wedding cake that's included in their package. Similarly, if a couple wants their wedding favours to reference their wedding or include some other personal touch (such as keychains engraved with the couple's wedding date), they should check that the venue they're thinking of using has a package that will allow for this level of customisation. Enquiring about these things before they book a specific venue will ensure that the couple doesn't find themselves disappointed that they cannot add the personal touches that they wanted to (or have to pay out of pocket for these things, in addition to paying for the all-inclusive package).
How impressed they are with the venue's wedding event coordinator
A venue such as a hotel, that specialises in all-inclusive weddings, will usually have an event coordinator, who will be a couple's main point of contact throughout the wedding planning process. This professional will be the person the couple reach out to with questions about their chosen wedding package, requests for customisations and if they have queries about any vendors the venue is using for their wedding. As such, it's extremely important that the couple meet the event coordinator at the venue they're thinking of using so they can check that this person is a good fit for their needs, and should factor this into their choice of venue.
If during this meeting, the event coordinator is very clear about how often the couple can expect updates on their wedding and how the couple can get in touch with them, and if they also come across as extremely knowledgeable about every tiny detail of the venue's all-inclusive packages and seem happy to answer all of the couple's questions, then this could be a good sign that this professional (and the venue they work for) is a good choice.
