Cincinnati Planners — Common Questions
Our ceremony and reception are on opposite sides of the river. What does that involve?
Mostly transport and time, and one piece of paperwork: which state you marry in decides which office issues your license and what the requirements are, so settle that before you book anything else. After that it is bridges at the hour your guests will cross them, a shuttle plan that assumes traffic, and suppliers who need to know they are working two sites.
Our venue is a historic ballroom. What is the hidden constraint?
Usually the load-in and the power. Grand old rooms come with a service entrance, an elevator with a size limit and an electrical supply that was not designed for a modern lighting rig and a kitchen at once. Ask what has been run in the room before. The answer tells you more about what is possible than the floor plan does.
Do venues here require their own caterer?
Many do, and where they do not, they often keep a list. Ask whether an outside caterer is allowed at all, what fee or insurance that triggers, and whether the kitchen is a real kitchen or a warming room. This single answer moves more of your budget than almost any other, so it belongs in the first venue conversation.
How does the weather shape the calendar?
Summer here is humid enough that an outdoor ceremony in the middle of the day is hard on guests, and the shoulder seasons are lovely and short, which is why they book first. If you want an outdoor ceremony in July, plan it for the end of the day with shade and water, and have an indoor room you have actually stood in.
We only need help with the day itself. Is that a real service?
Yes, and it is the right scope when the venue supplies its own kitchen, staff and floor plan. What it is not is a rescue for decisions never made. A day-of coordinator should be hired early enough to read every contract and build the schedule, even if they only appear in person at the end. Ask when their work actually starts.
