We’ve had the pleasure of working at so many incredible wedding venues over the years, but we know that choosing the perfect one for your big day can feel overwhelming. To help you find the right venue, we’ve put together some key questions and tips to guide you through the selection process.
Finding the ideal venue starts with asking the right questions. Sit down with your fiancé and consider the following:
Determining your guest count is the first step. Knowing roughly how many people you’ll be inviting will help you narrow down venue options based on their capacity.
If you’re planning to get married in a church or another religious location, this may mean needing two separate locations (one for the ceremony and one for the reception). Be prepared to consider transportation logistics between the two sites.
Having your ceremony and reception at the same venue is often more convenient and can be more affordable. It reduces the need for additional transportation and simplifies the overall logistics of your day.
The season you choose will influence the type of venue you select. An outdoor venue might be perfect for a summer wedding but less ideal for winter.
Think about the geographical location. Do you want a wedding close to home, a destination wedding, or something in between? Your location will impact the style, accessibility, and cost of the venue.
Once you’ve answered these questions, it’s time to start looking for venues that fit your criteria. Here are some great resources to help you find the perfect spot:
