Choosing a venue for your wedding reception isn’t something that you want to do in a rush. You likely have a lot of things that you want to ask about your venue, so it can take a while to choose the perfect place. If you are planning destination wedding Kansas is a great place to get married. Venues can fill up their bookings quickly too, and you don’t want to find that by the time you’ve made your choice, it’s not possible to book your ideal date. Narrowing down where you want to have your wedding reception and perhaps the ceremony too is one of the first things you need to do, so it’s important not to take too long about it. Here are some of the first things to do to help you get moving without rushing too much.
Pin Down a General Location
The first thing that you’ll want to do is decide where you want to have your wedding. You might already have a venue for the ceremony, whether it’s a church, another place of worship, or somewhere else entirely. If you have one in place, you’ll want the reception venue to be conveniently located. Your guests won’t want a long journey between the two, and neither will you. If you’re looking for somewhere for your ceremony and reception, you could choose anywhere. Close to home or destination wedding? What would work for you and for your guests? Remember to think about things like transport, accommodation and things to do in the area too.
Make a List of Requirements
Writing a list of requirements will help you to narrow down all of the venues available to you. Start with the location, then think about capacity. Some venues will be too big or not large enough. What sort of theme are you going for? A modern hotel probably won’t be suitable for your rustic wedding. What’s your budget? Do you need a venue that offers catering? Do you need somewhere that will allow you to have a live band? There could be lots of must-haves that you need to look for.
Look at the Services Offered
Once you have your list of things that you need, you can check them against the services that each venue offers. Some venues will be very no-frills, while others like Clevedon Hall can provide great wedding packages and do lots for you to help your wedding go smoothly. Some provide catering, but with others, you might need to arrange outside catering. Some places will also have accommodation available, whether they operate as a hotel or they have private accommodation for you to use.
Visit and Ask Questions
When you have a shortlist of venues, you need to visit them to see them up close. Arrange an appointment for a tour and to discuss what they can do for you. Make sure you go with a list of questions to ask so that you can clear up and queries of confusion you might have. You can get a better idea of if the venue is right for you when you visit.
Take your time when selecting your wedding venue. You want to get it right, so take a look at a range of options.
