Booking the right venue is one of the biggest and most exciting steps in planning your event, and your venue tour is your moment to explore the space, ask questions, and imagine your day coming to life.

Whether you're planning a wedding, content shoot, brand event, or celebration, here's exactly what to bring for a smooth and productive venue tour at AmourArtelia, your modern event venue in Houston.

1. A List of Questions

Before your tour, jot down everything you want to know. Some ideas:
– What's included in the rental?
– What’s the guest capacity?
– Can I bring in my own vendors?
– What are the setup and breakdown rules?
– Is there a backup plan for bad weather (if doing something outdoors)?

You can also save your questions in your phone or notes app; it helps you stay organized during the walkthrough.

2. Your Phone (Fully Charged)

You’ll want to take photos and videos of the space, especially the lighting, layout, and key areas like entrances, restrooms, and photo worthy corners.

At AmourArtelia, we encourage you to snap freely so you can review later and share with your planner or vendor team.

3. Your Vision or Mood Board

Whether it’s a Pinterest board, saved Instagram folder, or a few inspo pics, bring a visual of the style or vibe you’re going for.

This helps the venue team show you how the space can match your theme and offer helpful suggestions for setup, lighting, or decor.

4. A Rough Guest Count + Event Type

Having a general idea of your guest count and what type of event you’re planning will help the venue team recommend the best layout, flow, and add-ons for your needs.

For example:
• 30 person content shoot vs. 120 person wedding
• Workshop vs. cocktail-style mixer

AmourArtelia’s open floor plan makes it easy to adapt, but knowing your scale helps us guide you better.

5. Ideal Dates and Flexibility

Bring 1 to 2 date options you’re considering. This helps us check availability and recommend timelines for booking, vendors, and payments.

If you’re flexible, we might even suggest off-peak dates that offer more value or availability.

6. Your Decision Makers

If someone is helping you make the final call (your partner, parent, planner, or co-host), bring them along. Seeing the space together prevents back and forth later and helps everyone feel confident about the choice.

You might walk in with one vision and leave with something even better. The beauty of a versatile space like AmourArtelia is its ability to adapt, so stay open, ask questions, and let your creativity lead the way.
