You’re engaged, now what? Planning a wedding take a lot of time and effort. It is a frustrating, exciting, stressful, amazing job to undertake. Just remember all the dilemmas and issues will all be worth it when your big day comes and you get to walk down the aisle to the one you love!
A huge decision in the planning process is choosing the perfect wedding venue for your special day. We have rounded up some of our best tips from all the experts here in WeddingDates HQ.
Choose a Theme
It seems like choosing a theme should come after finding the venue. But, if you chose a rustic country theme, then a modern hotel might not be suitable, you will be needing a shabby chic barn venue to complement your theme.
Look at ALL the venues!
Attending wedding fairs is one of the most valuable activities during wedding planning. Not only do you get an insight into what the venue will look like on a wedding day, but you can really take in the atmosphere, meet suppliers and have a fun day out!
Consider your needs
If you have fallen in love with an intimate castle venue, but you hope to invite 200 guests, it ain’t gonna happen. Figure out a rough number of guests and only check out venues that can cater for your needs.
Consider your guest’s needs!
If you are having a beautiful country wedding and your guests are coming from near and far to attend, where will they be staying? Is there accommodation within a reasonable distance?
Say cheese…
If you are visiting a lot of venues, while trying to decide, take photos of the all different venues you visit. Seeing so many wedding venues, can just become one big blur in your head. Take notes for each one, write down any pros, cons or ideas you have while you are there.
