Has anyone come up with a creative way to let guests know about the rules of a venue. The bride and groom in most contracts are responsible for the behavior of their guests, but as a Wedding Planner I was wondering what approaches other vendors have taken. Some venues hardly have any signage regarding the rules and I'm always worried that someone's going to cause a bride and groom to have pay for damages. There's a fine line between being the enforcer of rules and getting in the way of people just having a good time.
Short of printing the venue rules on the programs (can you imagine?) how have you let guests who seem to be unaware of rules regarding smoking, no alcohol outside of building, no music to be heard with 20' of a building, no tapes, tack, nails, glue, candles, don't open certain doors, etc? DJ's can't do this in a way that makes them look good if there are a lot of problem people. With Full-Planning this isn't as much of a problem as Day-of-Coordinations. Some venues want all of the rules to be adhered to, but I also notice that they don't like to clutter their venue with what they think will be perceived as negative messages. So guess who gets caught in the middle!?! Coordinators!
It's not like it used to be where people had a little bit more common sense and respect for property. I also am surprised at what people think that they are entitled to that is property of the venue, bride and groom, florist, rentals, decor and other vendors.
Just wondering! There has to be a comical and tactful way to accomplish this.
