When planning your special day, the Wedding Venue is one of the most important decisions to be made. You can have the best food, drinks & entertainment but a spectacular venue will really make your Wedding shine! There are so many important factors to consider when selecting the perfect wedding venue:
Size: How many guests do you expect? Making sure the space is not too big or too small is key. There needs to be room to dance, room to eat, space for a DJ or band, and of course a cozy spot for the Photo Booth 🙂 Pro-tip: High ceilings are really great for a feeling of expansiveness.
Style: Rustic.. modern.. minimalist.. elegant.. what style best fits your personality? Are you fancy or down-to-earth? Urban or earthy? Eclectic or Traditional? Trust us, there’s a venue for every style!
Accessibility: If many of your guests are coming from out of town, you’ll want a venue located near hotels and other accommodations. However, if most of your guests are local then a venue further out in the country would be a perfect escape. Either way, you’ll need to plan on how guests will get to the venue and whether parking or other transportation arrangements will need to be made.
Outdoor Areas: In this post-covid age, it’s pretty great to have an outdoor area so your guests have more space to move around. A natural environment and some fresh air is always welcome. But make sure that the weather won’t spoil things – covered areas in case of rain and heaters for winter or fans & shade for summer please.
