(Tips to Consider)
Alright, before you embark on your venue-finding escapade, take a pause and let your imagination run wild. Imagine your dream wedding day – the style, the vibe, the mood – let it all swirl around in your noggin'. Whether you're dreaming of a beachside affair or a grand castle celebration, knowing your vision is like having a map guiding you to the ultimate treasure. So go on, dream big – your wedding day canvas is waiting for your artistic touch.
Money matters, especially in wedding world. Knowing how much you can splash on your big day helps keep you sane, so be wise and set your budget early on, have a good ol' chat with your partner about the cash flow, and divvy up the funds smartly. A slice of that budget pie should be for the venue, of course and a whole other bunch for things like decor, music, food, etc. This way, you'll avoid falling in love with a venue that's out of your spending league.
Check out our real weddings, hit up planning articles online and find about recommended venues and suppliers. Oh, and let's not forget the goldmine of inspiration: Internet!! Instagram Pinterest, TikTok, you name it.
Make a rough list of your VIPs – that's your guest list. Your chosen venue should fit them all comfortably, like Cinderella's slipper. Different venues suit different numbers – an intimate chapel for a small gang or a stately manor for a crowd. It's all about that guest-venue love match.
Will you wed nearby or go on a wedding adventure to a far-off land? Think about travel, accessibility, and where your guests can crash after the party. Pick a location you love best but also makes the logistics a breeze.
Narrow down your faves and go give them a whirl. Walking around a venue makes your dreams feel oh-so-real, and you can picture your special day happening there. Ask all the questions, peek at the layout, and imagine how you can jazz it up to fit your style. Most importantly, trust your gut feeling!
Venues are like those surprise gift boxes – some come with amazing deals. Look out for venues that offer packages with added perks, so if you are short with your budget, this might be helpful. Scope out what's included, make sure it aligns with your wishes, and double-check for hidden costs. Keep the surprises for the wedding dance, not the bill.
Last but not least, let's chat seasons. Are you dreaming of summer sunshine or winter wonderland vibes? Envision your venue decked out in your chosen season's glory. And for the love of brollies, prepare for the unpredictable British weather. Many venues have rain-ready options, so you'll have a fab day no matter what the clouds decide to do.
From money matters to venue vibes, you're now armed with the know-how to tackle your venue hunt like a boss. So go forth, find that dreamy spot, and let the wedding magic unfold!
