We have some tips for choosing an ideal venue that suits your wedding.

Begin Your Venue Search Early

Many wedding venues are booked up to a year in advance. Bring the search job on your schedule ASAP, especially if you are prioritizing your wedding date. If you have a flexible schedule and limited time for wedding preparations, don’t hesitate to contact us!

Location and Plan B

When choosing where you'd like to tie the knot, the location always matters, especially for a weekday wedding. It’s related to the distance, accessibility, parking, and the wedding day rundown. For a destination wedding or overnight wedding, take nearby accommodations and the airport into count. If you are looking forward to a fantastic outdoor ceremony and/or party, be sure to choose a venue that works with your contingency plan.

Take Professional Help in Count

Professional wedding planners, stylists, coordinators, and florists are the walking, talking guide for local venues. With their rich on-site experience and advice, finding the best match for your dream wedding can be very time-efficient. They also help envision if the venue fits your preferred styles, needs, and demands, especially the guest count!

Confirm the approximate budget

The venue may end up being a major part of your wedding budget, so it is important to get clear pricing from the available venues. Apart from the room rental fee, extra fees for hiring, service charges, additional hours, etc may occur. Always confirm the overall price before you save the date with the venue.

The match between venue and style

Once you have decided on the style and size of your wedding, it often helps you narrow down the search. The ceremony and the reception can also be held in different venues, especially according to cultural or religious needs.

The must-haves and the restrictions

You may determine to book a venue because of its exciting “must-haves”, such as a pavilion in the romantic garden, a stunning pillar-less hall, serene vistas of the vineyard, a perfect spot for canapés, and so on. Accordingly, venues have restrictions and policies about alcohol, pets, décor, music, and many others. Pay attention to both sides of the coin.
