Your wedding venue will be one of the most important parts of your wedding day. This will be the location for your dream moments to come true. There is so much more to the space than the ambiance. Let’s explore some questions and answers about choosing the wedding venue.
What is the first step to choosing a wedding venue?
Before you begin your search for a wedding venue, there are a few things to know. You should know your estimated guest count, budget and location. The ideal venue will have the space to accommodate your guests and the type of entertainment you envision. Most couples spend about half of their budget on the wedding venue, but this calculation depends on the venue and the budget. An all-inclusive wedding venue can provide more savings than renting an empty space. The location is important. You will want your venue to be conveniently located and have picturesque views.
What is the best location for a wedding venue?
A wedding venue provides an enchanting space, but make sure it is located where it matters. The location should be significant and meaningful to you and your partner. You should also consider the distance to an airport, surrounding hotels, accessibility and parking.
How should I design the wedding venue?
The design and theme are what make a wedding unique. The internet has no shortage of inspiration. Articles, blogs and social media are overflowing with wedding design ideas. Creating a collage of ideas is a good place to start, and helps you discover your style. Booking a wedding venue with professional designers and décor makes designing your venue an easy and affordable process.
Do I need a wedding designer?
If you book your wedding at an all-inclusive wedding venue, the furnishings, décor and design services are included. If you book an empty space, you will need to rent furnishing, designs and reinvent the entire space. A blank canvas would probably require a professional wedding designer.
Which services are included in a wedding venue?
An empty space provides limited services, if any at all. An all-inclusive wedding venue usually provides all the essential services, and a little more. You should try to book a venue that provides the furnishings, chinaware, banquet staff, bar services, food managers and day of event coordination services. A bundle of the essential services can save you thousands on the wedding venue.
Does a wedding venue assist with booking vendors?
Wedding venues do not normally assist with booking vendors, unless they are providing the vendors and including them in your package. Some venues require that you use their vendors. You should determine whether outside vendors are allowed prior to booking your event. Most venues have a list of recommended vendors. Choosing vendors that are recommended by a venue is a safe way to plan the details. Vendors that work countless events with venues build a reputation so there is less at risk.
What are the advantages of having the ceremony and reception at one venue?
The one-stop wedding integrates the ceremony and the reception space, which has a few really nice benefits to think about. It definitely avoids the transportation issues and the gap between the ceremony and the reception. It gives you better control over the flow of your event and timing. It is also convenient for guests. A wedding venue that combines the ceremony and reception saves money.
