The Venue Booking Checklist
The same 12 things we check in every Venue Revenue Audit. Run it yourself in 30 minutes.
01 Capture
- Your website has one clear action on every wedding page: check a date, or get pricing.
- The inquiry form works on a phone in under a minute. (Try it yourself, on your own phone.)
- You show a real price range, or at least a starting price. Couples skip venues that make them guess.
02 Speed
- Someone replies to a new inquiry within an hour during business hours, and there's an automatic reply at night.
- Missed calls get a text back.
- You follow up more than once. Most couples need several touches before they book a tour.
03 Tours
- Every tour gets a confirmation and a reminder the day before.
- A no-show gets a rebook message the same day.
- Someone follows up personally within a day of every tour.
04 The hard dates
- You have a published offer for Fridays, Sundays or weekdays, with its own price, on its own page.
- You market the off-season months, with pricing or packages that give couples a reason to choose them.
- You actively sell smaller events: micro-weddings, rehearsal dinners, showers, corporate events.

10–12: you're ahead of most venues. 6–9: there's money in the gaps. Under 6: this is where your open dates are coming from.
When you're ready (more weddings, a bigger budget, or a new season to fill), check again whether we're a fit. If you came here from our qualifier, you'll get an occasional note like this by email. Unsubscribe any time.
