Deciding on a Wedding Reception Venue

The place where you have your wedding is an important decision. It is where you will spend the most time on your wedding day, and also where 50-­70% of the budget is spent. Here are some important factors to consider and questions to ask when searching for a wedding venue:

Step 1: Know the Details of Your Own Wedding

Think of your dream wedding.... are you saying your vows in a church? Outdoors? At a venue? Or somewhere else near & dear to your heart? The answer to the previous question will help when narrowing down some of the options available to you. 

The time of the year you tie-the-knot will also indicate which type of venue will be best. The number of guests plays a huge roll in deciding a venue location. By having an estimated guest-list number, you are able to eliminate venues that will not accommodate. 

Once you have sorted out the details you can begin narrowing down your options.

Step 2: Visit Your Top Venue Choices

After narrowing down your options, it is essential to visit your top venue choices! When touring, keep in mind the details you envision on your wedding day, such as: layout, theme, lighting, options, etc.


Step 3: Ask Questions!

To ensure everything runs smoothly on your big day - don't hesitate...be sure to ask questions! Popular questions include the following topics: 

• Parking
