THINGS TO CONSIDER WHILE CHOOSING YOUR WEDDING VENUES

Budget

Booking a wedding venue(s) is one of the most expensive items in a couple’s budget – it could be a single venue with multiple spaces like a resort, or multiple venues spread across a city for different functions. It is advisable to decide the amount you are willing to spend on the venue(s), be it for hometown nuptials or a destination wedding. Your budget will help you in shortlisting the options.

Size of the Wedding

You need to have a good idea of the number of guests you are expecting at every event as that will influence the choice of venues. For example, a hometown reception may see a larger turnout than the sangeet, whereas the number of guests remains more or less constant at a destination wedding. Ensure that all venues are spacious, comfortable and safe for guests throughout any ceremony or party. Your wedding planners and decor team should also have enough space to execute their ideas at any venue.

Location

Location plays a very important role when zeroing in on venues for a wedding. Convenience of travel is important for in-city weddings given the state of traffic at any given time. For destination weddings, there are numerous beautiful options such as beachfront spaces, hilly havens and landscaped gardens.

Services

When exploring venues, always look at the range of services the management and team there provide for wedding clients. These could include in-house caterers, decorators, accommodation and changing rooms, housekeeping, and/or entertainment packages. Always negotiate for favorable rates when opting for in-house options.

Restrictions

Always enquire about the restrictions that the venue could possibly have given the local laws and regulations. These include noise restriction policies, outdoor decor limits, non-vegetarian food and alcohol serving guidelines, and parking restrictions to name a few.
