Wedding Venue

Give yourself plenty of time to look at wedding venues.

Things to consider when picking a venue.

What’s your budget?

What season or dates do you prefer?

What’s your general location preference?

Do you want the ceremony and reception in the same location, or different venues?

Consider these factors when your ceremony and reception will be in two places:

  • What is the distance between venues?
  • Is there enough parking in both locations?
  • How will guests get from one location to another?
  • If you’re keeping the ceremony and wedding venue all in one place, consider:
  • Where will guests go between the ceremony and reception?
  • Does the staff change over the room? 

Determine if your favorite wedding venues meet your needs.

  • When can you start decorating for the wedding?

  • When can the vendors arrive?

  • Do they have adequate wedding insurance coverage?

  • Do they offer coat-check service in cold weather? 

  • Is there an overtime fee if the party or the vendor breakdown goes longer than planned?

  • If you are managing the food and the decor yourself, can you break down the day after the wedding? 
Be realistic, be flexible, and adjust as needed (there is no perfect wedding venue). Find one that has no deal breakers.

Registering Tips

Gift giving is a big part of your wedding and it is nice to set up with more than one store's wedding registry. I say this just to give people options whether it is demographics or income. Eight Tips Register Early - not everyone procrastinates. Do it together - express want's and need's together. You will be living together so get off on the right foot and make this home for both of you. Register for things other than china, and small appliances. Be realistic about your lifestyle - it you don't throw parties maybe don't include ice bucket, or punch bowl. Inquire about the stores return policy. Include different price points, which will allow your guest to be able to afford a gift for you. Update your registry because new products will have arrived. Aim to have at least twice as many items on your list as guests at your wedding. After everything is done make sure to thank your guest for the gifts.
