Weddings are once in a lifetime opportunities for people to go overboard with everything. Apart from the obvious joy, weddings are a time when brides and grooms-to-be become stressed about various details. Be it the catering, the guest list, the band or even the venue for that matter, couples focus all their energies on getting all details right. However, choosing the right wedding venue is no mean task. While choosing the location people have to take into consideration a number of details like the number of people it can accommodate, decorations, accessibility, facilities, refreshments, how much the wedding DJ costs, accommodation for catering and the band to name just a few.
Despite all these dilemmas, it still is very much possible for people to get the most suitable place if they are realistic rather than letting their joy rule their heads. Here are a few pointers for when you’re thinking of embarking on a lifetime of marital bliss:
In order to avoid any last minute rushes, people should chalk out an estimate of the number of guests they are expecting and make provisions for accommodation and refreshments accordingly. People should avoid getting swayed by the exteriors of a venue and should give the interiors a good look before finalizing the venue. They should ascertain that whether the venue’s decor matches their own ideas. In addition small yet important details like if the venue’s decor goes well with the flowers and the general theme of the wedding need to be checked. Despite the irritability associated with an extreme inquisitiveness, people will find that their inquisitiveness will go a long way in satisfying them completely. They should make it a point of addressing all their queries in order to satisfy themselves completely.
Obviously, the earlier people book a venue, the more convenient the wedding planning turns out to be, and they should seriously avoid rushing on this issue. So this is an excellent reason to get planning early.
To cut down the search for a perfect wedding venue, people could seek some advice from their married friends or colleagues. Getting a second opinion on venues isn’t half as bad as you might think, those people have been through it all already.
An important consideration is the budget that people have in mind, while it may take some time to get a venue that is custom made for their budget, but it is definitely not impossible. The next thing to see is whether the venue has the facility of an in house caterer. Having an in-house caterer definitely takes off some burden off the wedding planning. Once people are satisfied with the tariff, they should go ahead with booking the venue. Further ascertaining whether the venue offers a coat room and washroom facilities is yet another important thing to consider.
As far as the drinks bar is concerned, the venue should be licensed to sell liquor. People should also take a long hard look at the cancellation policies of the venue which enables them to cancel on the venue in case of an emergency. That is indeed a long list of things to take care of, but keeping in mind the importance of the occasion, the occasion merits such prodigious attention.
