Making sure your wedding will be a day to remember.

Your wedding is one of the biggest and most important days of your life. Your wedding venue will be one of the highlights of your day, so you have to ensure that it is picturesque and perfect to your standards.


In order to make sure that you have made the best choice possible, you will have to have a checklist of factors that will aid in your decision.

1. Guest List

The people who come to your wedding will all be there to share this memorable experience with you. You need to be able to have a good idea of how many guests you are inviting to your wedding - it would be a good idea to have an RSVP on your invites to ensure that your number is more or less accurate. This will help discern if the venues on your lists will be able to accommodate the amount of people who will be attending. Additionally, you have to ensure that the venue will be easy enough for them to travel to and from.

2. Consider your budget

Your budget for your wedding will be split up and funnelled into different categories. When you are selecting your venue, you need to always have your budget on your mind. If it is out of your price range, then you will have to find a suitable venue that is closer to your mark. Utilize the help of your wedding planner to help narrow down venues that are in your range that will help you achieve your dream wedding.

3. The experience

The experience of your wedding is one of the aspects of your big day that will have a lasting impression on you and your guests. It needs to be able to hold the ceremony and reception and have a beautiful view that creates a splendid backdrop for pictures that will bring your ideas to life. The experience of your wedding directly ties in with the theme that you have in mind and in order to achieve this experience, you need the right type of venue to implement it.

4. Bring your ideas to life

When you plan your wedding, you will have a horde of ideas that you want to implement. While your planner will steer you in the right direction, ultimately you will have to decide on the theme that your wedding will follow. For example, you may want to have a desert-themed wedding, you will need to find a venue that will create an atmosphere. You need to consider how the venue you choose will work in tandem with the ideas that you have in place. For example, you can choose venues in Palm Springs or La Quinta for the desired effect.

5. Vendors

When you are looking at venues, you need to find out whether or not they provide their own vendors, or if you are able to outsource your own.. In some cases, you may need to be able to find some middle ground with the venue on what is applicable and what isn’t. The venue may be able to provide its own lighting, music systems, and decorations for events held there, but is unable to provide catering, which means that you would have to acquire one through your own means.

6. Food and Drinks

Food and drinks are also one of the factors of your wedding that will stick in the memory of your guests for a long time. When planning your wedding, you might already have an idea of what you would like to serve for your guests - during the reception and while your guests mingle. You need to check with the venues if they first provide catering, and second, if they would be able to create the meals that you would like. If it is the latter, you need to know if you are able to hire an external caterer instead.

7. Logistics

If you are hiring vendors, you need to be able to ensure that they will adequately be able to travel to the venue to bring your ideas to life. This is especially important in the case of destination weddings. It might be out of the way for certain vendors, so you need to shop around for one that is willing to provide the service to you and make the trip to the venue.

Conclusion

When you plan your wedding, your venue is what brings all your ideas together to create the day of your dreams. There are several things you need to consider when you are planning your wedding - this includes aspects like who is attending the wedding, the vendors who are creating the theme, and most importantly if it is within the budget that you set out for yourself.
