Choosing your perfect wedding venue is a hugely important part of the early stages of your wedding planning. Finding this venue can really set the tone for your whole day. With this in mind, it is really a decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

A wedding venue, for most newly engaged couples is the stepping stone to the majority of decisions that are made shortly afterwards towards creating what is the best day in most peoples lives.

1) Choose a venue to suit you and your budget.

Choosing a venue within budget can be difficult. First of all, choose the budget for the venue and stick to visiting venues within this price range. As mentioned, this can free up the money for additional services to give you and your guests a better experience.

2) How many people are you thinking of inviting?

This can be a vitally important factor into finding your perfect venue. As well as cost, this can knock out many larger or smaller venues. How many people can you invite to the ceremony, party or breakfast? If you are thinking of inviting 100 people and you don’t want the headache of cutting the list down, why look at venues that can only cater for 75??

3) Location, Location, Location!!!

Where are your guests coming from?? We all know that people will make the trip for a big day but….. Is the place right for you? Is it really worth choosing a beach in December, will you be able to make the most of the scenery if the weathers bad? The photography throughout the day can be a pivotal part of remembering your day once it is over so make sure all eventualities are covered.

4) Venue Facilities.

The majority of venues have great facilities such as wi-fi and outdoor spaces but really have a think about how you want your perfect day to run. If you and your guests are wanting to party the night away with minimum inconvenience to everybody, make sure the bar or toilets aren’t too far away. Is the room big enough for everything you want??

5) Will your venue allow you do do as you want?

Live Bands, Smoke Machines, Fireworks and Outside Catering are a sticking point for many venues across the country. If you have these things (plus more) on your non-negotiable list, make sure to check with all venues before booking to ensure you get your perfect Day.
