HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT VENUE FOR A WEDDING?
One of the most time–consuming and important points during the wedding preparation is the search for a suitable location for the celebration. It is complicated by a large number of nuances that should be taken into account when choosing the ideal place.
Number of guests
First you need to analyze how many guests you want to see at the wedding. Of course, the size of the chosen venue depends on this: guests should not be cramped, but the space should also be cozy, that is, it is not worth choosing a huge hall with a small number of guests.
Placement
The logistics of the wedding day should be built qualitatively. It will be more convenient for newlyweds and guests if the road from the registry office to the ceremonial site is fast. Therefore, if you choose a restaurant outside the city, for example, think in advance how everyone can comfortably get to the place.
The style of the celebration
The location of the banquet part, of course, should reflect the overall wedding style. If your celebration is planned in the loft concept, a restaurant or a playground with brick walls and contrasting light is ideal. If you have settled on the rustic or boho style, the space should be light, and natural shades may be present in the decor.
Season and weather
It is important to understand whether you can consider an open area for the banquet part or whether you should make a choice in favor of a closed room. It all depends on the weather and the season in general. Think about this moment in advance. If you choose an open terrace or a clearing, make sure that, in case of bad weather, you have somewhere to move.
Also, if you wish to conduct an on-site registration, booking an indoor hall, specify whether there is a stylized roof veranda, a picturesque gazebo or another location for this part of the event in this institution.
Service and infrastructure
The quality of staff service is also of great importance. In order to understand the level of work of waiters, to evaluate the quality of dishes, it is worth visiting the institution in advance. Then you will be able to give a genuine assessment of this place and understand whether you want to hold a wedding celebration here or not.
In addition, if there are people with disabilities or elderly people on your guest list, make sure that they will feel comfortable on this site, access to every corner of the location will be provided for them.
