You got engaged and now you don't know how to find the perfect wedding venue? Choosing the perfect venue is one of the most important parts about your wedding, this is one of the things that guests will remember and forever talk about.
We recommend that you set a wedding date well in advance so you give yourself or your wedding planner more than enough time to strategize and plan your wedding. Our advice on how to find the perfect wedding venue is to start looking as soon as you decide your wedding date. There is however some things to take into consideration before you start looking... How to find the perfect wedding venue? If you're wedding is more than one year away venues may not have prices for that year yet. While there's no arm in looking if you do decide to book a venue so far in advance, make sure that it states in your contract the final price so you won't have any surprises down the line. Another thing to take into consideration is that, due to our country economy, not all companies are managing to stay open and this is a risk with any supplier/company so our advice is to purchase wedding insurance. If (touch wood) any issues arise you will be able to claim it of your insurance. We purchase car insurance, jewellery insurance, house insurance why not consider wedding insurance since it's one of the most important days of our life's?
How to find the perfect wedding venue
Check List:
In order to choose your wedding venue you need to first decide what type of wedding you want. Are you having a small wedding or a big celebration? Do you want a beach wedding or a barn wedding?
Determine the number of guests you plan to invite and consider the venue's seating arrangements, dance floor size and outdoors/indoors area layout. Depending on your wedding theme consider if the lighting and decor is a good match to create the perfect theme and atmosphere.
You may want to select a venue that is easily accessible for your guests, especially if it's a destination wedding. Consider the parking availability, public transportation options, and proximity to amenities such as hotels and restaurants.
Enquire about the kitchen facilities if you're bringing your caterer.
Always request to see the bridal suite to see if you have enough space as there will be many people with you (bridesmaids, make up artist, photographer, hair stylist, etc) and you want to avoid feeling crowed for a better experience.
Read online reviews and ask for recommendations on the venue's quality, service, and overall experience.
