Choosing Your Wedding Reception Venue

Each couple looks for the perfect wedding reception venue.  But what makes it perfect is different for each couple.  So what should go into the decision?
Start by talking before making any visits.  It’s important that you talk with you fiancé about the vibe you want for your wedding reception.  If he likes the idea of a laid back barn wedding and you crave a posh party downtown, you’ll need to get on the same page before visiting venues.
Church or civil wedding? If you are considering a civil ceremony, you may be able to save money by selecting a wedding reception venue that has a location for your ceremony.  If you will have a church wedding, you might want to consider a venue that is nearby for the convenience of your guests and to best use your time.
Decide on a budget.  Wedding catering and alcohol will be a large portion of your wedding budget.  You should have a good idea about your budget and guest list before visiting reception venues.  Their sales director can present options for you to consider when she understands your budget.
What’s best for your guests?  If a large number of your guests will be traveling for your wedding, you might want to consider venues with lodging or near to hotels.
Your wedding date.  Prime dates book quickly – sometimes years in advance.  When considering a venue you’ll have more options if you are flexible about your wedding date.
