What To Check For When Choosing Wedding Venues

By Nancy Gardner


Choosing a setting for your wedding is often one of the first and the biggest items to check off your wedding-planning list. This is a critical when planning if you decide on the location, other details such as color, decor and the bridal gown will fall into place. The location of your ceremony determines not only the mood, but also the travel, time and budget. Therefore, the information below will help select wonderful Wedding venues that will be remembered for a long time.

Discuss with your fiance on the theme you desire for your D-day. It is imperative you agree on whether you want a modern or a vintage ceremony. If you are renting out a non-traditional space, remember to factor in all of those details and make sure they are in your budget.

Ask for recommendations from friends and especially from newlyweds of a venue they know. Talk to other couples and vendors who have used the space. Go online to get information on great destinations. Be keen to note whether your venue has great pictures on their website. Web sites are useful because they have details of a wide range of destinations with a click of the button.

Visit the venue around the time of day you want to marry. Bring in your wedding planner if you are working with one. Request to be given a contact person for questions during the planning process. Consider the logistics of having an event at your dream venue. If you plan to have a religious ceremony, find out whether or not you are required to have it in a house of worship.

Put into consideration if you want a place to hold both the reception and the ceremony. Find out what each venue provides, ask if the venue has any vendor restrictions, and decide whether you can be happy with those options. Consider choosing a venue that can provide recommendations for having reputable vendors, but still allow you to make the final choice about who you will work with.

Look for a venue that has separate spaces available for the event and reception, though, to keep the event lively and interesting for your guests. Your meals will be an important part of the reception, so you will want them to be right, and suitable for all of your guests. For a reception, choosing venues that are close by to each other is a good idea. Decor and styling for each venue may be different, thus adding to the budget.

You will want to select a place with a nice scenery and natural features or buildings. An event location with a nice background will give many photo opportunities. Make sure both of you agree that the venue feels like the right place for your celebration. The location you choose should say something about your personal style and your passions.

Accommodation is an important factor to consider for your guests. You will want to go to a place where you will be offered nice rooms with adequate facilities you should get from a good hotel. For a destination ceremony, work with a venue that can also provide lodging, activities, gathering places and transportation for your guests. You not only want your guests to be in a worry-free vacation mode, but you will also be relieved of making sure everyone is entertained and taken care of.
