Below you find an enquiry regarding a venue.

Venue in the country side (Barn / Manor House)

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to you to enquire the possibility of booking 06 Aug 16 at your venue.

A little background is that our original venue unfortunately has had a massive issue with planning permission and therefore we can no longer get married there. The venue (a family friends barn) has meant that we have already ordered and booked in pretty much everything for a bespoke wedding and I am now scrabbling around to find something similar for a date around the 6 Aug 16. I am a Captain in the Army and have a short window that I am available for.

The questions I have are as follows:

1. Do you have any availability for Sat 6 Aug 16 or any Saturday in July or Aug 16?
2. Do you have a floor plan with rough dimensions on it just so I can work out what will go where?
3. We have already got a caterer called Tom Fletcher (www.tourellecuisine.co.uk) provisionally booked. I have used him for numerous occasions before as well as worked with him for around 4/5 years when I put up marquees and ran events for Fare Catering and Marquees. He is excellent with bags of experience working in marquees and barns. We would love to continue to use him if you would allow it and I can arrange for him to come out and visit you to make sure you are happy with him at a time of your convenance.
4. We have a band provisionally booked in with all the relevant insurance and will make sure that you see all the paperwork.
5. We have already bought all the alcohol for the wedding and Tom has agreed to provide staff to man the bar throughout the wedding. Is it mandatory to use your staff? and what would be the extra cost on top of the venue cost? Do you charge corkage?
6. What are timings that we could access the barn to set up and what time do we need to be out by?
7. With all the above in mind could you please provide a rough estimate of cost for the venue for the weekend in question.

We can any discuss further detail on Saturday if possible.

This looks possibly like an amazing opportunity to save our wedding (if you have any available dates) and I would like to thank you in advance for taking the time to respond to this email.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind Regards
