Most venues charge 25% to 50% of the total contract value, collected the day the couple signs. Higher-demand dates and longer lead times support a higher deposit. See our full guide on how much deposit a wedding venue should charge.
For most venues, yes. A non-refundable deposit compensates you for taking a date off the market, as long as the wording is clear before the couple pays. See our sample non-refundable deposit wording.
The deposit is the first payment, not the only one. Most venues follow it with one or two more milestone payments tied to the event date, with the final balance due 7 to 14 days before. VenueBill generates that full schedule automatically once the deposit invoice is created.
