Guest List
You don’t want to rent out a venue that is suitable for 500 people when you are only having a wedding with 150. You also don’t want a venue that can seat 50 when your guest list includes 200. When you are looking for a venue, you want to be sure that you find one that will accommodate for all of your guests without paying for more than you need.
You want to be sure you can allow everyone to be comfortable and able to relax in the space you provide. You want to have a full guest list before you choose your venue in order to avoid the situation of having more guest RSVP “yes” than you have room for.
The Time Of Year
If you are having a winter wedding, an indoor space will be the better option. In the summer you will want a space that has a beautiful outdoor scenery but also allows for guests to escape the heat if they feel the need. There is no way of knowing what the weather will be like on the day of your wedding, especially since you will be booking a venue so far in advance. But take into consideration the time of year and weather in the past, this will help your guest be more comfortable with the venue choice depending on the weather.
Your Budget
Although you may find the venue of your dreams, you must remember your budget. While a venue is wonderful and can truly add to your celebration, going over budget to get married in a rustic barn may not be worth it. You are sure to find a place that will give your wedding just as much character and that you will love.
If you do find a place that is within your budget, find out what is included in the price. You may find that it is a better deal than you originally thought. Some venues include full service, offering decorations, vendors, and photographers. Other require you to bring your own vendors but offer tables and chairs. If one of your venue choices offers more than another, your decision may become easier.
