How to Choose your Wedding Venue

When it comes to wedding planing one of the key decisions is the venue but this is also an incredibly difficult decision to make as it will be integral to every aspect of your big day. Here are some things that you might need to consider when it comes to choosing your venue:

1. Location

While you don't have to be too specific in the early stages of wedding planning you need to have a rough idea of the wedding location. Do you want to have a destination wedding? Is there a particular country/area you have in mind? Are you planning to have the ceremony and reception in the same place, if not you need to consider the distance to travel between the two.

2. Style

What style do you have in mind for your wedding? Would you like a rustic barn wedding or perhaps something more traditional? There is no point looking at mansion houses if you are picturing your big day in a teepee. Pinterest can be a great source of inspiration for wedding themes.

3. Budget

What is the budget for your wedding venue? Can you afford the venues that you are going to view? Imagine if you fell in love with a venue that was completely out of your price range? Remember to properly review what packages the venue is able to offer, does the price include the wedding breakfast or this something that you have to organise independently?

4. Capacity

Although you won't be required to confirm your guest list until about 2 months before your wedding you will need to have a rough idea of numbers to check that the venue is able to cater to your requirements. It is worth drafting out a guest list before you even start to look at venues, a lot of venues charge per head for day guests so this will also help you calculate your budget. Remember most venues are able to accommodate extra evening guests.

5. Time of Year

The time of year will have a big impact on the price and availability of your venue. Some venues are only available for weddings during the summer months. Often the cost of a venue will vary depending on the season. The day of the week can also play a part in the cost of the wedding so it is worth considering a weekday if you are looking for ways to save.

6. Overnight accommodation

If you have guests traveling some distance for your big day, whether there is overnight accommodation might play a big role in choosing your venue. Not all wedding venues have on site accommodation however this might not necessarily mean you have the rule the venue out if you are able to find local places for people to stay.

7. Gut feel

You could find a venue that ticks all the boxes but just doesn't feel right, there is a lot to be said about gut feel! You need to be able to envisage your big day at the venue and for me this is the most important requirement when choosing your venue. You will have all your photographs taken there and the memories will last a lifetime so you need to truly love the place that you marry.

What other factors played a part in choosing your venue?

  4. You can cut your general wedding costs altogether by changing your wedding date away from Saturday nighttimes in May, June, September, or October. Go insane and stay away from Saturdays inside and out and have a furious Friday night wedding or a loosening up Sunday evening wedding. Big Island weddings
