How You Should Go About Choosing Your Wedding Venue

Is the wedding venue accessible on your marriage day?

Sounds like a clear 1st question does it not? But you truly need to ask it first. There’s no point visiting a prospective wedding venue, falling in love with the idea of tying the knot there and not being able to make your dreams come true because another bride & groom got their first.

If you have already selected your special date, then we recommend you call the destination wedding venues before the visit & say that you can only make that date, if they’re already reserved then get back to the list & find another excellent wedding venue. 

How many invitees can be seated for a meal at venue?

This is really important; you don’t wish to book a venue that has a seating area for 250 guests if you are only inviting sixty to a sit-down meal.

You also wish to make sure your invitees can sit comfortably without being crammed into a small venue, or even worse, being left to feel as if they are shoved in at the back, and can hardly see the top table. As soon as you have got a rough idea of how many invitees are being invited, you’ve to ensure your selected venue fits your needs.

How many invitees can the venue accommodate for the wedding reception?

Some couples like to have a small & intimate wedding ceremony, and then follow that with the mother of all parties in the evening. If this is going to be your plan, make sure that the wedding venue can accommodate this. You don't wish to have 200 evening guests descend on your wedding and find them all squeezed in, or unable to get to the bar. Again, the flip-side is that you don't wish to find out your wedding venue has a separate dance floor & bar area that resembles a barn - the single easiest way to have zero-atmosphere at your reception is to find the wedding DJ or band playing to a half-empty hall, with your wedding guests sitting around the edges not mingling.

Can the bridal party get ready at the venue?

Maybe this is something the bride would prefer, instead of rushing around in the morning; why not ask the venue if they have the facilities for the bride to prepare for her wedding day in the comfort of her wedding venue.

Obviously you'll wish for something nicer than a conference room, or a ladies changing room at a golf club, but if the wedding venue has a nice quiet comfortable room for the bride to arrive and perhaps have her hairdresser, make-up artist and the rest of her entourage help her prepare for her wedding day then all the easier.
