The wedding venue is critical for ensuring a fun and happy wedding. A good wedding venue will provide variety, comfort and style to ensure that the wedding is beautiful and memorable for the guests. If you're planning a wedding a searching for a venue, knowing what to look for can help you decide which space is right for you.
Indoor and Outdoor Space
Weddings are long events that take place in many locations from beginning to end. From the preparation rooms to the alter to the party room afterwards, the wedding moves several times throughout the course of the day. Variety is important for keeping the party going and making the ceremony more meaningful.
Indoor space is good at night when it's chilly, but in times of good weather, many modern ceremonies are held outdoors under a natural archway made from wood and greenery. Look for a venue that provides indoor and outdoor spaces to ensure variety from start to finish.
Scenic Backdrops
Scenic backdrops are important for taking interesting pictures before the ceremony begins. Many couples like having a variety of backdrop options, from urban settings to natural outdoor spaces. It's not always possible to find this in one location, but couples tend to look for as much variety as possible to get the best pictures for their event.
Natural Lighting
Natural lighting is flattering, simple and inexpensive. While a sun-bathed bride commands oohs and ahhs from the crowd, a groom in soft morning daylight is romantic and makes for good memories. Venues that have big windows and lightly covered outdoor spaces are best for ensuring that the wedding ceremony is lit with natural daylight.
Rustic Decor
Rustic decor is very popular in modern weddings. Think: ball jars with votive candles inside. Twine holding together a bouquet of farm-grown roses. Antique lace. Branches with tiny bells dangling in the wind. These little touches give the wedding a timeless, simple quality that many couples strive to capture on their special day.
Rustic and vintage decor can all be brought to the wedding venue, but talk to the venue planner for good ideas to make your wedding decor standout.
Customizable Spaces
Venues that provide movable walls, multi-purpose rooms, a variety of dressing spaces and multiple kitchen areas is important for ensuring that your wedding venue meets your party's many needs. When viewing a venue for the first time, ask questions like:
Asking questions like this can help you decide if the venue is right for your needs.
Host Bar
A host bar is one of the latest trends in modern weddings. There are a variety of ways that a host bar can be provided at affordable rates. Some venues provide packages that cover beer and wine only, others will allow the couple to provide guests with drink vouchers good up to a certain number of beverages. Talk to your venue about the different bar packages available to decide which one will fit into your budget.
