Guidelines For Selecting Great Wedding Locations

By Alta Alexander


It is not easy to decide on a perfect destination for your event that will suit the majority of your guests. The venue lends atmosphere to your event and becomes the aesthetic foundation on which the rest of your style decisions you make. Consider choosing a lovely, well-cared-for location that is neutral and customizable. Get a venue that will bring the ambivalence of a home away from home. Here are 7-things to think about when choosing wonderful wedding locations to tie the knot.

Have a firm grip on your guest list or budget. Depending on how many people are coming to your ceremony will also help determine what sort of venue you need. You will need to know how much you can spend before you start drawing up your list of dream venues. You may decide to conduct the ceremony in unusual spaces since commonly used spaces are often overpriced. You need to have a clear mind on whether you envision a chapel ceremony or a beach bash.

You need to look for a suitable venue with your ceremony in mind. Sit down with your bride and discuss what kind of theme you want for your event. Have a chat with your other half about the sort of event you would like. You need to prepare to compromise, if you have different ideas. This could help avoid disagreements later.

Working out a budget early on will help you to shortlist potential venues. Look for an establishment that is experienced and provides lodging, entertainment and traveling services to your visitors. Find out what each venue provides, ask if the venue has any vendor restrictions, and decide whether you can be happy with those options.

Wedding-ready venues often have tables, chairs, and linens available for your use and, more importantly, a cleanup crew on hand. This will avoid the hustles of transporting water containers and a generator to provide power. Make sure both of you agree that the venue feels like the right place for your celebration.

Consider the Budget. Choosing venues that are close by to each other is a good idea. It will reduce the budgetary expenses, especially on transport. If you have a tight budget, there are ways to get around it. Be realistic, and choose an off-peak-season date. In addition, decorations and styling for each venue may be different, thus adding to the budget.

Consider the prices. Inquire before you visit the place on what the facility provides for free to guests. This is vital especially, if you have fallen in love with a particular venue but you have a tight budget. One of the options is to slash the budget for other things such as decorations. As a rule of thumb, the amount allocated to the venue and food should not be more than half the budget.

Decide on whether you want a traditional or non-traditional venue. Where the event is traditional one, it is best held in areas closer to your relatives. This will cut down on the cost of traveling. If the couple belong to different faiths, it is a good idea to have the ceremony conducted in a neutral place. The couple may agree to have the reception at a different venue accompanied by a smaller number of guests.
