Bali Wedding Venue Comparison Worksheet

What should you prepare before comparing Bali wedding venues?

Use one event brief for every property so the comparison remains fair. Assess the wedding you are actually considering rather than each venue’s most favourable standard package.

• Likely and maximum guest count.
• Ceremony, cocktail, dinner and dancing format.
• Preferred month and acceptable wet-weather format.
• Accommodation and transport assumptions.
• Priority vendors, entertainment and production needs.
• Budget boundary and non-negotiable guest requirements.

Which columns belong in a venue comparison worksheet?

Create one column for each shortlisted venue and one final column for evidence or unresolved questions. Mark an answer as confirmed only when it appears in current written terms or comes from an authorised venue contact.

• Criterion and importance: essential, preferred or optional.
• Venue A, Venue B and Venue C answer or score.
• Source: contract, current brochure, authorised email or site observation.
• Date confirmed and name or role of the contact.
• Additional cost or operational consequence.
• Status: confirmed, assumed or unresolved.
• Follow-up owner and decision deadline.

How should capacity and guest experience be compared?

Compare scaled layouts for the exact ceremony, dinner and entertainment formats at both the likely and maximum guest count—not headline maximums.

• Seated ceremony capacity with aisle and accessible positions.
• Dinner capacity with table choice and service clearance.
• Space for stage, dance floor, bar, buffet and sound control.
• Guest movement between arrival, ceremony, dinner, toilets and departure.
• Comfort and atmosphere at the lower end of the guest range.
• Equivalent usable capacity in the wet-weather layout.

How do you compare rain backup fairly?

Score the celebration that would actually happen in rain, not merely the availability of a roof. The backup must support guests, production, catering and the visual plan.

• Covered capacity and scaled alternate layouts.
• Protected route from guest arrival through every event space.
• Decision authority and latest responsible activation time.
• Relocation labour and time for furniture, flowers and equipment.
• Power, sound, lighting and catering protection.
• Tent approval, installation, flooring and drainage requirements.
• All additional venue and supplier costs.

Which access and production questions change the shortlist?

A venue may fit the guests while failing the loading, power, sound or service plan. Ask relevant suppliers to review the same current information before assigning a strong score.

• Vehicle size, turning, waiting and late-night departure options.
• Vendor loading route, parking, storage and setup window.
• Available electrical supply and backup requirements.
• Sound limits, speaker positions, curfew and entertainment restrictions.
• External-vendor approval, required suppliers and related fees.
• Temporary structure, flame, fixing and floral-installation rules.
• Accessibility for older guests, wheelchairs, prams and children.

How should the true venue cost be compared?

Ask every venue to price the same event outline. Compare the complete required spend rather than the first displayed venue or room fee.

• Venue or event fee and exclusive-use conditions.
• Minimum stay, room allocation, buyout or food-and-beverage minimum.
• Tax, service, security, cleaning and overtime.
• Required catering, beverage, furniture or production suppliers.
• Power, lighting, transport and access-related labour.
• Wet-weather room, tent, flooring and relocation costs.
• Cancellation, rescheduling and deposit terms.

How do you score venues without hiding risk?

Use a one-to-five score only after recording the evidence. Keep unresolved essential risks separate: a high total cannot cancel missing event permission, insufficient rain capacity or inaccessible guest routes.

• 5: confirmed and fully supports the event brief.
• 4: confirmed with a manageable compromise.
• 3: workable with additional cost or a meaningful plan change.
• 2: weak fit or dependent on an unapproved exception.
• 1: cannot support the requirement.
• Unresolved: do not score until an authorised answer is received.

What should be complete before choosing the venue?

Choose from the evidence record, complete cost and the wedding in both preferred and backup conditions. Keep the finished worksheet with the venue terms so later planning does not rely on memory.

• Both layouts and capacity assumptions.
• Written event permission and current terms.
• All mandatory and conditional costs.
• Vendor, sound, power and access restrictions.
• Weather activation process and decision-maker.
• Owner and deadline for every remaining question.
