The capacity potential, style, and location of a wedding and reception venue are three details to research when you are planning your big day. Having access to an accommodating venue that provides plenty of opportunities to take pictures or relax with friends and family can make your wedding and reception very memorable.
The Capacity
The capacity that a venue can accommodate will determine if there will be ample room for dining, dancing, enjoying cocktails, and more. A venue owner will relay information about the number of rooms within the establishment that you and your guests will have access to. This will include information about whether or not guest rooms will be available for an overnight stay.
If a venue has a large picturesque parcel of land that adjoins it, there may be a way that you can incorporate the outdoors area into your plans. Some venue owners may allow guests to set up tents and tables and chairs outdoors, as well as decorate the inside of a venue. This will provide plenty of opportunities for you, your spouse, and your guests to walk around and enjoy each of the activities that you have added to your itinerary.
The Style
A ranch that hosts weddings and receptions may feature woodlands, grassy pastures, a barn, and other rustic-themed settings or structures. A classy resort may feature natural and artificial bodies of water, cabanas, a tiki bar, and other modern settings and features. You will need to decide if your wedding is going to be unique or if you are going the more traditional route.
Additionally, you should select whether or not you want the main portion of your wedding and reception to be spent indoors or outdoors. This may influence which venue you choose. If wedding and reception photos are going to be taken throughout the event, you may want to be supplied with plenty of backdrops that will showcase your special day. The interior design of a venue and the exterior style of a venue and the surrounding property should be researched thoroughly.
The Location
If you have guests coming from all over the area, choosing a centrally located venue may be your best bet. A venue that can easily be found will ensure that your guests are able to arrive on time. Research the distance that a venue is from where you reside and from where your guests will be traveling from. Consult with the owner of the venue, concerning any weather variables that could hinder one's ability to access the grounds where the venue is located.
