When it comes to selecting your venue, the pressure is on. Your venue is where you will create all of your beloved wedding memories. It is the location that you will design and make your own. It is the space that you will have your vendors utilize and create that dream wedding you have been waiting for. So when it comes to choosing your venue, here is our top 3 things to keep in mind when it comes to deciding on your perfect wedding venue.
Indoor Vs. Outdoor
When it comes to your venue, a huge thing you need to think about is if you are wanting an indoor venue or an outdoor venue. Both bring such different vibes and style to your wedding day, and its one of the top things to think about when deciding on a space. Some venues are able to offer both indoor and outdoor options, which gives you the best of both worlds. However when it comes to choosing between these two options, the season of your wedding date starts to take factor. When picking a venue, it’s important to consider the location. If you are inviting a lot of guests, for example, you might consider picking a location that is easily accessible which means, some outdoor locations might not accommodate, while an indoor space might be better, vice versa. This is especially important if you are planning on having two different locations for both the ceremony and reception. When a dream venue doesn’t have both options available, some brides choose to have two different locations that ultimately give you the best of both worlds. However, in this guide, we are trying to narrow down spaces and find the right space for you!
Your Style
Venues are not just a giant blank space to have your wedding at. So many venues bring their own character and style to your wedding dream. So when deciding on a wedding venue, you really need to take into account the venue’s style and vibe that it offers up the second you take your first in person tour. That being said, before you set your heart on a certain location, make sure that your venue’s non-removable décor doesn’t clash with your own personal style. Some venues have rooms and decor already inserted that they may need you to use or just have in your wedding. This will sometimes make it easier fro your day, if sed decor matches your style, or it might make it difficult to make your day unique and your own. It’s also important to note that the amount of work you put into your wedding decorations will vary from venue to venue. Some venues offer the all in one package when it comes to time availably and decor. This can make it simpler for your, but going back to what we already mentioned, it might night be the style you are going for! So the style of your venue matters so much, make sure to take this into account when selecting your venue.
Budget
Venue prices vary immensely. Some venues are close to $1200, and some venues can go up to $12,000! Everyone has a budget when it comes to your wedding day, and when it comes to spending money on a venue, that comes down to your ultimate wedding vision. For some brides, spending the most on the venue is what matters most, while others might not care too much on the location and more on another vendor for the day. Also when it comes down to selecting the right price range for your venue, you will need to keep your wedding guest count in mind. Some venues might be large and on the cheaper side, and others might be even small and on the more expensive side. Make sure to look at your budget and decide how much you are wanting to invest on just the venue alone. This is so you will still have the finances for other important things, like that your wedding dress you’ve wanted since you were a little girl, or those gorgeous florals that are only in bloom in this time of year. Lastly when it comes to your budget and choosing a wedding venue, really take into consideration venues that offer in house services. Whether that be catering, decorations, or floral services, these are in house vendors that a lot of venues might offer. When thinking about your budget, it might be helpful to choose a venue that has these vendors to offer. However sticking to this topic of in house vendors, there are also might be more budget friendly venues that don't make you use their in-house vendors, there fore you can save money and do some of these vendor jobs on their own!
