You have asked the question, the ring has been placed on your finger, and the date has been selected. Now it’s time for you to decide where to celebrate the most important day in your life.
It will be a memory you will cherish for a lifetime. You will remember your wedding day forever, even after it is over. Choosing a meaningful venue will help you preserve your memories for many years.
This guide will help you understand how the venue you choose will affect the atmosphere of your big day. These tips and tricks will help you find the perfect place to say “I do.”
Let your vision of the wedding guide you.
You want your wedding day “feel,” right? If you want a relaxed, natural ceremony with just a few friends, a modern art gallery is probably not the right choice.
On the flip side, if your goal is a polished, elegant wedding day, you won’t be able to drag chairs along the sand. To narrow down your options, use your wedding vision.
After you have a clear idea of the style you want for your wedding, you can start looking for a venue that suits your needs. These are just a few ideas to help you get your creativity flowing.
Traditional
A wedding that allows the couple’s love to speak for themselves is beautiful. Traditional venues are a great way to bring out the uniqueness of your day without being too busy. A beautiful church, country club, or golf course could be the ideal backdrop for couples who want a classic and timeless feel for their wedding day.
Modern
A modern wedding ceremony should be clean, simple and minimalistic. It would be best to look for venues that offer elegant and open spaces with minimal backdrops. Modern restaurants, loft venues, warehouses, and art galleries can all provide blank canvas space that allows your vision for your wedding to come to life.
Nature
Outdoors can give you a more relaxed, bohemian feel. Outdoor weddings give your nuptials an organic, fresh feel that wraps you in all that nature has to provide. You can have your ceremony at the ocean’s edge or on the grass of the park you met. Botanical gardens offer a natural feeling and a weatherproof guarantee.
Rustic
A rustic venue is a great choice for a relaxed wedding. Rugged venues allow you to express your personality with the ability to hold it indoors or outdoors. You can think of barns, farms, ranches, and wineries.
Vintage
An old-fashioned couple will love the historical details of a venue. A 19th-century post office or an old library can bring back memories of simpler times. It is charming and nostalgic to have your wedding in an old location.
Romantic
Your guests will be transported to the fairytale wedding they have always envisioned with soft, twinkling lights. Romantic venues enhance the love you are celebrating on your wedding day. Your guests will be enchanted by choice to have your reception in an elegant hotel ballroom or historic mansion.
Destination
You may dream of a Caribbean beach wedding or nuptials on freshly powdered ski slopes. But remember that your guests might be travelling a long distance. Destination weddings are intimate and memorable with a smaller guest list. You’ll also have unforgettable photos forever!
Your guests are important.
Your guest list plays a major role in choosing the right venue for your wedding. Your guests’ biggest influence is the number of people that can fit in your space.
In a small church, 300 guests are not enough. It’s possible that not all your guests will be able to fit into the church. Even if you manage to squeeze everyone in, there are chances that they will be squeezed into small spaces or wedged into awkward corners on folding chairs. They will be uncomfortable and come to your wedding to see it. You don’t want to see your guests in sardines-like arrangements in your wedding photos.
Once you have narrowed your guest list to the most important, you can prepare your venue tour plan. You can determine whether a venue is suitable by calling ahead to determine how many people can be accommodated.
