Money
- What is the total for my date, including every mandatory fee?
- What is the deposit, and what part of it is refundable, and until when?

Time
- What hours do I actually have the site, and does setup come out of them?
- When do vendors get access, and can anything be dropped the day before?
- What time does music have to stop, and is that your rule or the county's?
Logistics
- How many people fit seated with a dance floor, not standing?
- How many bathrooms, and are they permanent?
- Where does catering cook, and is there refrigeration?
- What is the power supply, and has anyone ever tripped it?
- Where do guests park, what happens if it rains, and who directs them?

Risk
- Show me the rain plan, standing in it.
- What insurance do I need, and what do my vendors need?
- What happens if you cancel, or sell the property?
- Is there another event on site that day or the day before?
People
- Who from your team is here on the day, and what do they do?
- Can I talk to two couples who married here last season?
