Making a reservation for Your Perfect Wedding Venue

Size is a concern

Anyone who says size does not matter is completely wrong. Should you have sixty people attend your wedding reception, you must find a wedding venue that accommodates around sixty to eighty people. Why get a great location that holds 150 individuals then not actually 1 / 2 fill it, the wedding attendees are going to be rattling around inside, and almost all atmosphere will be erased.

Assuming you're planning a Disc-jockey or Band for the night's entertainment for the wedding attendees, then ensure they've got adequate room to put together their equipment, consider where you can imagine the wedding party dancing and see if there is room for the entertainment to setup.

If you're planning a big wedding breakfast at the venue, talk to your wedding venue and enquire how they will arrange all the dining tables, they could say they could accommodate 100s of wedding guests but if they are sticking tables down the corridor, your family and friends will feel ignored.

Simply speaking, when searching for the right venue, ensure you look at the venue, don't just select it from photographs or the internet, and try to imagine your wedding party being held there.

Prices

Let's face facts, the wedding venue and wedding reception can easily be the most expensive section of your special day, but only if you want it to be.

Depending on just what your very own choice is, be it a grand Victorian house you might have leased for your day, or even the nearby church hall, be sure you set in place your allowance and also stay with it.

Big wedding venues usually offer set packages, which incorporate a simple price per head for his or her meal, wine, toast drink and evening buffet. All venues should present you with the price list before you decide to book something, check if there is an expense for hiring the venue, along with the consumables. Some wedding venues demand much less for Sunday - Thursday weddings, whilst Fridays and Saturdays tend to be popular wedding days and would be more expensive.

If you book a wedding location that does not arrange the catering needs or is simply a hall hire, consider the costs of what else you may want to make it a perfect wedding venue, food, drinks, crockery & utensils, decorations, Disc-jockey, service staff - it all add up.

Spend some time working out the figures and choose what matches your wedding day budget.

Coordination

Once you are delighted you've found the perfect wedding location, take care of the deposit, get a receipt and ensure it's totally reserved for for your wedding day.

Try and take a few close family or buddies to see the wedding venue before your special day. Not only does it make them feel much more included you may get their thoughts and ideas.

Make sure you look at the wedding location a month or two before your wedding day to discuss the management of the venue what you can and cannot do.

Find out when you can access it from, what time you'll need to be out by. Meet with the caterers and ensure the food that you'll require is properly set. Check what things the wedding venue will provide, and also what you are expected to arrange. Such things as a sizable silver knife or cake stand, in the event that these are not provided by the wedding venue, you'll need to arrange them yourself, so you dont face an awkward moment when it comes to cutting your wedding cake. Discover when your wedding DJ can get in to setup, all the little things require thought, do a list and ask all the questions of your wedding venue.

Book Early

Lastly, once you've invested time looking for your perfect wedding venue, and you are pleased you have found your perfect day, most places get reserved well in advance, often quite a few years in advance. Don't get let down, book your wedding venue early, or at least get yourself pencilled in their diary and ask they contact you right away if any wedding couple enquires about Your date !
