Finding the right venue for your wedding can be an exhausting experience. As a couple, you need to make the right decision regarding budget, guests, and services to be covered.  The popular and most convenient ones get booked so fast, and you have to do it well ahead of time. It is advised that you book your wedding venue 12-18 months before the big day. But, how do you know which is the right one for you? There are some factors that you need to consider to make sure that you decide properly. In this guide, we will give you some helpful tips on how to choose a wedding venue!

Know The Number of Guests

Before you start looking for the right venue, you have to know how many people it should take in and see if it matches the capacity. To save you from worries later, set the number right away. You certainly don’t want to end up with a venue that’s too small to fit all of the guests.

On the other hand, this step is useful for your budget planning. The price is dependent on the number of people. With having the exact number on your mind, your vendor will be able to tell the total amount. 

Location

The wedding ceremony and wedding reception can be held at different locations. If this is the case,  make sure that they are close and have a good connection. 

If you have lots of guests that are out of town, then consider it while planning your venue. In cases like this, the location needs to be easy to reach and have a nearby hotel. You don’t want your guests to spend time traveling around, or running late because they can’t find the place.

For example, Hollywood Events is just 15 minutes away from Fort Lauderdale International Airport. The best thing is that there is a hotel located in the same building as the venue. Also, they offer some pretty good discounts for all attendants. Your guests will find this so convenient.

Determine The Style

Each and every couple is different. The wedding hall should match the overall style that both of you have in mind. It is very important to determine if it is going to be formal or informal, traditional or modern, elegant or more casual. This will help you narrow down the choice and only consider the convenient options. 

Discuss What Is Included In The Price

There is a difference from venue to venue regarding the offer. Check their websites, or have a detailed discussion about the services and amenities included in the price. Some venue pricings might sound high, but if you check the offer there might not be any additional costs on your side. Some may have the hall decorations included, so you won’t have to reach additional vendors for this. 

Available Parking

Having an available parking lot is always an advantage. If your wedding venue does not have it, you will have to direct guests to the nearest available one.
