PICK YOUR VENUE

The considerations you need to make

THEmagic of a wedding can be made or broken by your choice of venue.

Deciding on the venue for your wedding is arguably one of the more important decisions you will make for your big day.

It will also be one of the first decisions you make.

The choice of venue determines the date of your wedding, the option for themes, catering, travel and accommodation.

It’s not a light decision couples have to make and there are a number of things to take into consideration.

What is your dream wedding venue? Write a list of your venue priorities to help you decide. :: Is the venue you want within your budget?

Think about what is included with the venue. :: Do you want to get married in a church? If you do you’ll need to think of a reception venue close by. :: If you’re not getting married in a church, do you want to combine the ceremony and reception locations? :: If you are needing accommodation, or supplying accommodation to your guests, do you want that to also be a part of your ceremony and reception location?

Weather can change at any time. What facilities does your venue have in place in case the weather on your big day turns a bit grey? :: If there is nothing, have a back-up plan for where you could go and have a way of easily communicating that with guests.
