Location, Location, Location!

Business-savvy people know how important the location or the venue is to their enterprise. Event organizers know this as well. So, no matter what event you try to organize, the venue and its location will always be top priority. For some couples, the venue of the ceremony and the reception determine the theme of the wedding. For others, it’s a matter of fulfilling a dream.

You might find yourself at a dilemma when choosing where your wedding will be held. You might have scoured the city (or even the suburbs or gasp, the whole country) for the perfect one, and now have plenty of options. Narrowing down your options means letting go of that fancy hotel or stunning resort. Doesn’t this make you want to renew your vows yearly just so you could get married in all those places you’ve seen? Unfortunately, if you’re not filthy rich, you only have room for one wedding for now. So here are a few tips to get you started on picking the best venue for your wedding.

As a child, you might have had a list of things that you wanted for your wedding. Try to recall where you wanted your wedding to be. Was it in a big cathedral? Chances are that this childhood dream would be the perfect wedding venue for you since it’s all about the innocence and bliss that accompanies it.

Affordability

Well now, this is one obvious thing you have to consider when looking for a wedding venue. You wouldn’t want to spend the rest of your married life in debt just because of that extravagant reception. If you’re planning to have your wedding in a distant place, say cross-country or in another continent, make sure that you have provisions for your guests or that your guests have the means to go there.

Backyard Reception

Do you or your parents have a big back yard that can accommodate your guests? If you’re cutting down on costs, then this is one option you might want to try. You can decorate the venue a day or two before the big day with the help of your bridesmaids and groomsmen. Both your families could pitch in as well. The activity makes for a fun quality time.
