[singlepic id=1592 w=320 h=240 float=left]The choice of wedding venue can define the type of wedding you are going to have. Location plays an integral role in a wedding celebration and the main theme of the entire even depends on the place where it is to be held. So making a thoughtful choice here is highly recommended.
Here are a few tips to guide you on how to choose a wedding venue;
The very first thing you need to decide when choosing your venue is whether or not you are going to have reception and ceremony at the same place. Venues should be registered with local authorities in order to host legal ceremonies and in order to check if a specific venue if registered, you may check the local council’s website. So, if you choose to hold the ceremony and the reception at one place, your choices will be limited.
Although, normally, the average number of guests attending a wedding is 100, there is no set limit to this; you can invite as many people as you wish, or, on the other hand, if you want to have an intimate wedding where only close family members are invited, you can reduce your guest list to 50 or even less. However, the choice of venue will depend on the number of people you have invited. Moreover, the wedding venue choice will also depend on the convenience of your guests to reach it; you can’t please everyone, but you must consider the majority.
Once you have made a list of people you are inviting, you need to define a budget. The venue includes the place, catering, seating as well as decorations. So, when deciding your budget, keep these elements in mind. Most of the hotel banquets offer complete packages including everything from food to decorations but if you are going to hold the event in some open ground or private facility, you might have to pay extra for these things, especially the decorations, post party cleanups and accommodations, if needed.
Although most venues have their websites and can be booked online, it is highly recommended to visit them before making the advance payment. Visit 4-5 local wedding venues which are easily accessible, spacious enough and within your budget and talk to the authorities; ask relevant questions about additional charges, overtime, food, liquor license, cleanups, staff assistance, decorations and so on.
Now, this aspect is as important as the entire event. You take the pain to choose the best wedding photographer from among several professional wedding photographers in your area in order to have a perfect wedding photography but your location can ruin it all if you haven’t considered photography while selecting the venue. Choose a place which offers both modern indoor as well as natural outdoor settings for photography.
If your wedding is in the peak weddings season, you must reserve the venue as early as possible or you may miss on your dream location. Confirm your booking and pay the advance to ensure your place is secured.
