Choosing The Right Venue
Posted on Nov 24, 2008 under Wedding Venues |
He asked the question…you said yes, you picked a date and now it’s time. Time to choose the venue.
But how to decide? How do you know what to look for?There are so many details you never even thought about…
When choosing a venue, keep in mind these several (and I mean several) points:These are the obvious ones…
1. How much? (this is a loaded question beacause it has multiple answers….)
2. How many guests does it hold? (be careful with this one!!)
3. How early can we arrive to set up? (wait till you hear this answer!!)
4. How late can the party go? And, how much time do we have to get all of our things out?( you would be very surprised to hear what many venues say about this on!)
5. Can we use our own catering/ DJ/Photographer/ Flowers etc? (this should be a no-brainer, right? Think again!)
6. Outdoors? (does the venue have a contigency in place in case of inclement weather?)
7. Oudoors? (does the venue have to abide by a noise abatement program?)
8. Does the venue allow pets? ( some like to use their pets in the ceremony, some venues say no)If you are the slightest bit shaky on any of the points mentioned above, you need to do your homework. I deal with brides every week with venue issues.
If they had the Exclusive Wedding Guide (a brides best friend) they would have been armed with the knowledge!
There are probably at least 10 more very crucial points to be considered that have not been discussed. They are , however, located in the Exclusive Wedding Guide >>>
