Hudson Valley Planners — Common Questions
The barn looks finished in the photos. What is actually missing?
Often the things nobody photographs. Ask directly whether the site has three-phase power or a generator, where the water comes from, what the restroom arrangement is, and whether the kitchen is a kitchen or a tent with tables. A venue that answers those four questions plainly is a venue. One that answers them with a brochure is a field with a view.
Who books the generator, us or the caterer?
Somebody has to own it and it is usually not the caterer. Power draw is cumulative — kitchen, band, lighting, heaters — and the person sizing it needs every supplier's numbers before the order goes in. This is the single most common gap in a raw-site build, and the fix is one person holding one list.
How many trucks are we talking about on the day?
More than a hotel wedding by a wide margin, and they cannot all arrive at once down one farm lane. Tent, floor, restrooms, rentals, catering, lighting, band, flowers — each with a crew and a window. The sequencing is the skill; a good planner will show you an arrival schedule by the hour, not a supplier list.
Is a raw site cheaper than a venue that includes everything?
Sometimes, and not for the reason people expect. The site fee is lower and the build is not, so the honest comparison is the total once power, restrooms, tenting and staff are in. Get both numbers written the same way before you decide, because the barn only looks cheaper until the infrastructure line appears.
It rains. What happens to a field?
Parking, mostly, and it happens before anyone notices the ceremony plan. Wet ground plus two hundred cars is a tow truck and a late start. Ask what the ground crew does after heavy rain, whether there is a hard-standing option, and whether the tent has sides and a floor rather than just a roof.
