Rebecca Uden from De Vere Selsdon Estate gives her top tips for re-booking your venue due to COVID-19

Q – Our wedding has been postponed due to COVID-19, and we’re having to re-book our venue. What do you suggest we ask before booking?

"Firstly, I’m sorry to hear your wedding has been postponed, but when your special day comes around it will be worth the wait! I’ve put together a few of my top tips to help you along the way.

"Read the venue’s terms and conditions with regards to cancelling due to COVID-19 and ensure you understand their flexibility.

"Check available dates and ask if they can hold your chosen one for two weeks.

"If you’re re-booking the same venue, check what their payment expectations are and if there are increases to the rates or changes to your contract.

"During the two weeks that your date is on hold, check with your previously booked companies to see if they can accommodate it and pencil you in.

"If you have suppliers that cannot accommodate, confirm if there will be any charges if you need to cancel their services.

"Once everyone have confirmed, let your venue know and check all the paperwork thoroughly.

"Most importantly, sit back, relax and look forward to celebrating your special day."
