Perhaps you have just got engaged and can’t wait to book the venue for your wedding – but before you do that, are you sure you know what you want? Before you start booking tours of every wedding venue within a 50 mile radius, there are some important things to consider.
Picking out the perfect wedding venue is one of the most important pre-wedding tasks you will have to do. So, it is important that you get it right.
To help you pick out the perfect wedding venue, we have put together a list of tips below:
Discuss it with your partner
When choosing a wedding venue, good communication is vital. Don’t just presume that because you love a certain venue, your husband-to-be will love it too.
Ask your partner what they think about each venue, listen and take onboard what they say. Be prepared to compromise if you have different ideas on things. Remember, it is a celebration for both of you, so it should not just be based on one person’s preferences.
Decide on the type of wedding
Deciding on the kind of wedding you would like, such as a church wedding or a civil ceremony will give you a better idea of the area you should look for your reception venue in.
Ideally your wedding ceremony and reception should not be more than 20 to 25 minutes away from each other.
Choose a budget
Whilst you may have already discussed the budget of your entire wedding, you also need to consider how much you are willing to spend on the venue. For denver weddings and receptions, you can have a look online to get an idea of prices and services.
By deciding on your venue budget early on, you will be able to work out which wedding venues are within your price range.
When choosing a venue make sure to add in the costs of the venues catering service and bar services – are they included or do they cost extra? Ensure that you know what each venue quote includes – food, drink, disco, etc.?
Find out what catering options they offer
If you have a set meal or food in mind for your wedding dinner, it is important that you find out what the catering options are at a venue. Does your favorite venue offer a choice of menus? Do they allow you to bring in your own catering company? What do they provide for people with special dietary requirements? These are all important things to find out before booking your venue.
Take into account your number of guests
When looking at different venues, find out how many guests each one can hold and if they offer accommodations for guests like the wedding venue Cheshire. There is no point visiting a beautiful wedding venue if it can’t hold all your guests, so make sure you find out beforehand. Otherwise, you may end up being disappointed.
Check that your wedding date is available
If you have already chosen a wedding date that is set in stone, check with the venue that your date is available before you visit.
However, if you can be flexible about the date and time, you will find it much easier to secure a wedding venue.
