Make sure to check out the venue policy. Some spaces only allow people to have drinks, while others only offer the space. However, since most venues do tend to be hired for events such as weddings, engagement parties and other important events, external catering is often allowed! Have a chat with the manager and see what you can come up with together!
Decor in church venues might be limited. Remember that although you’re booking the space, it is still a different type of venue than the usual ones everyone thinks of. Treat the space with respect, and definitely ask the host about what is allowed and what is forbidden (probably stay clear of any anti-church decor, that’s for sure).
