Ten Things Too Consider When Picking Your Wedding Venue
As any bride is aware, one of the most important aspects of your wedding day is the wedding venue
itself. To quote property brokers aplenty, ‘Location, location, location’. Where you have your
wedding affects the whole tenor of the day; if the place isn’t suitable on the day or simply doesn’t
match the vision you have for your wedding, your enjoyment of the occasion will be decreased and
what should be one of the most special days of your life will be marred. With this in mind here are
10 things to consider when selecting your exclusive use wedding venue.
Discuss
Your wedding day is about both of you, so make sure you discuss what your visions are for the day
and what sort of venue would best suit you.
Guest List
Drawing up the guest list before visiting venues is a good idea so you will know what sort of size and
capacity you require.
Logistics
Logistics may not be a romantic word but it’s very important to consider when choosing a venue.
How long is your guest-list? Will everyone fit comfortably into the church or hall you prefer? Are you
having a spring or winter wedding and are there facilities available to deal with excessive
heat/cold/rain/snow?
Is it full service?
Some venues offer a full wedding service, including furniture, linens and catering supplies, but
others may not be able to.
Style and theme
Does your wedding venue match the style or the theme you have selected for your wedding? A
Gothic manor simply won’t cut it if you’re after a more relaxed, rustic celebration and vice versa.
Make a checklist
When visiting prospective venues bring a checklist of questions along and ask, ask, ask away to
ensure you have all the information necessary to make the right decision and select the place that’s
right for you.
Double-check
If you have been to a venue once and love it at first sight, it’s worth going back for a second visit
before you make up your mind; you might not like it so much the second time around.
