[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 4503398, member: 54866"] To anyone interested in becoming a wedding venue or wedding host or any kind of event, for that matter. The first rule of banqueting: Do NOT [U]under any circumstances[/U] offer to organise or provide any product or service beyond that which you are equipped to provide. If you have spent the time and money and got a field, parking and a nice barn for folk to get hitched in, provide that, charge for it, and do nothing more. By all means you may hand prospective clients a list of local caterers, bands, DJs and children's entertainers, hog-roast, outside bars, florists and the like. But do NOT attempt to involve yourself in organising these directly. Let the customer and the third party organise it between themselves. The second rule of banqueting: If you have a commercial kitchen and are in the business of providing food/catering or whatever, do NOT [U]under any circumstances[/U] ever allow a third party to do any catering on your premises whatsoever. Reason for rule 1: don't let your reputation be destroyed on someone's big day because the DJ forgot or something stupid. Reason for rule 2: a food poisoning incident at your premises regardless of who was to blame will appear in the local press/trip advisor and that will be your business down the pan. Lastly, get insurance. Please feel free to print this out and nail to whatever prominent place is best. [/QUOTE]
