Just got engaged? Guess what, it’s time to choose a venue!
Sure, spend some time admiring the ring and posting those proposal photos on Instagram. But then it’s time to get to work. One of the first decisions you need to make is choosing the venue for your wedding.
Why do you need to start early on finding a venue? It all comes down to availability and the number of weekends in a year. There are only 52 Saturdays each year, the most popular day for weddings. If you have a particular date in mind, or your heart is set on a specific venue, the earlier you get it booked, the better. Keep in mind, it can pay off to be a little flexible about the day and time of your wedding, as it might help secure the venue of your dreams. And you might even get a discounted rate if you’re looking at a weekday wedding.
What to Consider when Choosing Your Wedding Venue
As you start to research ideal wedding venues for your big day, here are a few questions to ask yourself.
What size wedding will you have? The number of guests will help determine the size of the venue you need. Small weddings don’t need as much space, whereas larger parties will need plenty of room for guests to comfortably sit at the ceremony and enjoy the reception.
What type of venue are you interested in? The choices are endless, from private facilities to remote locations to hotels and other public spaces in the city setting.
Will you have an outdoor wedding? If you’re hoping to get married with Mother Nature as a backdrop, there are plenty of beautiful settings to choose from. However, consider a venue that has indoor facilities as a backup for rainy or storms.
What is your budget? The cost of a wedding venue can range from a few thousand to $15,000 or more. The location, time of year, and amenities offered can play into how much a venue will charge.
