    The Westfjords (North West)

    How to choose wedding venue in Iceland

    Must have questions that you have to get answer
    1. Time frame – how many hours ahead you can set up decorations, how many hours afterwards do you have to remove all, at what time can the party finish the latest
    2. Is there a kitchen on site and if so, is the chef on board, or do you have to get catering delivery or hire a chef?
    3. Policies regarding rescheduling or cancellation.
    4. What services are included? From chairs to tables to linens, dinnerware, cleaning, bartender, make sure you ask for every tiny detail which add on to the budget if has to be purchased separately.
    5. How are bathrooms organized? Are they on site? How many? On which floor? Will they be cleaned during the party?
    6. Space arrangement. It is important to know if you will have to flip the space-some places are big enough to offer a room for tables and dance floor, other will require setting up musicians/DJ equipment during the chit chat break/group photos, etc.
    7. Management. I personally believe that it is worth to ask if there will be designated supervisor during the event, someone who will keep an eye on everything, overseeing the details. It’s adding on to a smooth service and exceptional experience of your guests.
    8. Availability.
