How can families inspect a wedding venue's exits and emergency arrangements?

Direct answer
Ask management to show clear exits, the emergency plan and who is responsible for directing guests if an incident occurs.
Check the routes in the actual event layout, including whether doors remain usable and decorations create obstructions. Ask how people needing assistance will leave and how emergency services can reach the site. Report concerns to competent venue staff rather than attempting your own safety certification. A visible exit sign alone does not establish that the whole evacuation arrangement is workable.
