Basically your venue should walk you through it. I would first set up a meeting to meet the manager, see the venue, sample whatever needs to be sampled etc.. During this time you'll discuss prices, your wants/needs, etc...
Sometime after the first meeting the venue will either send/ask you to pick up/email you a contract- generally they ask for a deposit with this. A month to two weeks before your event the final payment will need to be made. Basically, your venue will walk you through the process. Different places require different things- call up the venue and ask how they work so you're prepared for each of your meetings. :) Goodluck
I second what maureen9004 said, I think the procedures and policies differ from place to place, so setting up a meeting would be good.
Angel Swanson, one of the Weddingbee Pros, wrote a great post the other day about what questions to ask before signing any contracts with your venue:

Thanks! That post looks very helpful, I'll have to take notes!
I guess I should add that I'm doing a destination wedding at a hotel, so some of these things are covered, and will in all likelyhood have to put down a deposit before I visit the site, so a meeting isn't really all that possible. I think we are getting ready to get a contract, so I will need to make sure I take care of this stuff.

Any helpful bees want to compile their knowledge on how to book a venue? I'm not sure what to expect from the people there, when to get a contract, when to pay, etc...
