How To Choose A Wedding Venue
The first step when deciding which wedding venue to chose is gathering how many people will be attending. Usually, two thirds of invitees will attend, but you should always have extra sits, just in case, which is why it pays to chose a large place. Alternatively, you can ask that people give you a definite answer as to whether they will be attending well in advance of the day, so then you will know the exact number that will attend.
It may be an option to have two venues; one for the wedding ceremony and one for the celebrations afterwards. In general, more guests attend the reception than the wedding, so a smaller venue for the wedding and a larger one for the reception is the typical set-up. It is important that the two be close to each other, so that as little of your special day as possible is spent traveling around.
After you have made a list of places you would like to use, gather a camera and a notebook and visit them. Take notes about what you like and do not like, take pictures, and write down ideas regarding themes, decorations and color schemes.
In general, historical buildings or botanical gardens are perfect for a wedding. You want somewhere with an atmosphere of both grandeur and warmth, a place that reminds you of family and happiness as well as prosperity. But a wedding venue is more than the place itself. What sort of catering do they offer? For example, do they offer an inventive cuisine with a focus on styling and taste? The perfect venue will work with you to design the perfect menu for your wedding.
Some wedding venues will have their own stylist, their photographer, their DJ, their own flower suppliers, etc. You may want to chose one that does, but even better is a venue that allows you to chose from a pool of recommended services - this way you can really customize your wedding day and transform it from a dream into your dream.
