Factors To Consider When Choosing Wedding Locations In Vermont

By Gwen Lowe


When couples start shopping for wedding venues, more often they fall in love with the beauty of the place and sign the contract before considering more important and practical issues. But unless the place is just magical and you are willing to take risks with it, you should never choose a venue for your big day until you have the approximate number of expected guests and your budget. You also need to decide whether to host the main ceremony and reception in the same place. Below are tips to help you choose ideal wedding locations in Vermont.

Take time to identify the type of ceremony you want. Couples are allowed to have church weddings or a civil ceremony based on their needs. Determining the type of ceremony you would like helps you locate a suitable venue. Make sure the venue is licensed for marriage ceremonies to avoid penalties charged by local authorities.

The venue you choose will be determined by the number of guests you expect. Prepare a guest list beforehand. This will help you choose a venue with the right size. The right size will have sufficient space for your guests. Consider where majority of your guest live. You will be able to save costs on transportation and accommodation by choosing a location convenient for your guests.

You should also have a budget before you start your search and stick to it. This will help you avoid overspending on the venue. After all, price does not always reflect the quality of services. Because of this, it is important to compare charges from at least three venues before making a choice. This will also enable you know the average rates for hiring venues.

Venue availability is another factor you have to consider. If possible, avoid celebrating your marriage during peak seasons. Nuptial peak seasons are always towards the end of the year. During this time, venues will be very expensive.

You must also make up your mind whether to use one venue for both the main function and the reception. Even though this is one way of cutting costs, it will depend on the capacity of the venue to host the two events. To make your work even easier, you can also run online search. Most wedding venues nowadays have websites where you can find all the details you are looking for. This has made work very easy for couples.

If you know other couples who celebrated their weddings in the recent past, you can always ask them for recommendations of perfect venues around. Other than other couples, you can also seek referrals from vendors you have chosen like photographer, deejay, florist or caterer. They will be in a good position to give you recommendation since they perform in various venues on a very regular basis.

Couples are advised to work with professional event planners. Professionals are well versed with different locations. They have contact with service providers who will assist you in arrangements. Seek the advice of event planners and ask them to help you find a suitable location. Give your event planner a list of requirements. This way you will be certain of choosing the best venue.
