Choosing the reception venue for your wedding is an essential part of planning your big day. It must be perfectly adapted to your needs and desires, while providing a pleasant environment for you and your guests. Here are my tips for choosing the perfect reception venue for your wedding.
The budget
The first piece of advice I always give to my clients is to determine their wedding budget. The reception venue must be chosen within the budget. The entire budget should not be devoted to the venue, because you must then be able to add the elements of wedding preparation such as the caterer, decoration and other desired service providers.
The number of guests
Next, the number of guests is another important factor when choosing a reception venue. You need to find a venue that can comfortably accommodate all your guests without looking too empty or too crowded. Also make sure that the venue offers enough space for all the activities planned during your wedding, such as the dance floor, the stage for the orchestra or the DJ, the secular ceremony, the back up plans, etc.
The style of your wedding
Your choice of venue should also reflect the overall style and theme of your wedding. If you have opted to organize a winter wedding, for example, a rustic wooden chalet could be a good option. If you have chosen a formal ceremony in a big city, then a more sophisticated venue might be suitable. In any case, the place must be in harmony with the atmosphere you want to create.
Consider the location
The location of the reception venue is also important. Make sure the venue is easily accessible for all your guests and is located in a convenient location for them. If some of your guests are coming from far away, it might be a good idea to choose a venue near an airport or train station. It may also be wise to have accommodation on site.
Check the facilities and services offered
Finally, it is important to check the facilities and services offered by the reception venue. Some venues offer additional services such as catering, decoration, music and even activities for children. It is important to understand these services and ensure that they meet your expectations.
In conclusion, choose the perfect venue for your wedding requires extensive research and careful planning. This is why as a Wedding Planner in Auvergne and Lyon, I can help you.
