Wedding Venues
Choosing a wedding venue will be dictate by the number of guests you have attending your wedding. The more guests you have the bigger the venue has to be.
Other factors when deciding on a venue is whether you want part of your day to be spent outside and does the venue have the facilities for this, the time of year and the weather can also play an important part as you don't want to be outside in the winter months.
Having a venue outside your local area also has problems, can your guests travel that far, do you supply transport to and from your venue or will they have to stay all night and if they do where will they stay.
Have an idea of how many guests you will be inviting to attend, this number may increase or decrease so your venue should be able to handle each instance.
Points to note
Find a venue that can cater for your amount of guests, too many and some may be turned away, venue too big and it may look empty.
Enquire if a buffet or entertainment is supplied, some venues can arrange this for you and include it in the price.
If children are attending ask if there is a room or area that can be used to let them have time away from all the noise, a room with a TV and videos is ideal.
It can be quite a wait between getting the photo's taken and both of you arriving at the venue, have some entertainment such as a magician to keep the guests amused, especially the children.
