Hey brides and grooms 
As weddings require so much planning and investment, I'm sure you'll want to avoid any hidden surprise that will ask you to pay more than you had originally planned.
Here are 6 hidden costs to look out for when booking your venue and to plan in your budget.
1. Non-approved professionals
Some venues havce a preferred pros lists of caterers and florists and will ask for an additional fee if you want to go for a different one.
2. Overtime Costs
You're wedding might be so much fun you'll want to make it last longer than the time you had originally planned, make sure you know how much your venue will charge for extra hours.
3. Taxes and gratuities
Make sure to check what the total cost is with taxes to plan it into your budget. And ask whether the tip is included in their services.
4. Cake-cutting fee
If you're going for an outside baker, there might be extra fees for cake since the venue will also be in charge of slicing, serving and cleaning the dishes, which means more work for their staff.
5. Set-up, cleanup and breakdown costs
Some venues are full service and won't ask for this additional cost, but some will. Make sure to ask your venue if there will be additional costs to set-up and clean up the venue.
6. Corkage fee
If you're thinking of bringing outside liquor, make sure you're wedding hasd the right permit for that and what costs they will charge for bringing in your own liquor.
