Choosing the wedding reception venue is as critical as any other aspect that contributes to making your big day a memorable one. Getting into the in-depth details of the requirements you are looking for will help you determine what works for you. Before you decide if you want your reception to be held indoors or outdoors, there are several factors that you need to put into place. These factors will ensure that whatever you decide works to your advantage. For instance, you start by asking yourself if you want the ceremony and the reception held at the same venue or not. Once you have established these facts, you are ready to pick out a venue and ask a couple of other questions.
The venue that one chooses for their wedding reception ought to be agreed upon unanimously by all the organizers of the event. This is because this one function brings together people of all walks of life into one gathering that is supposed to be characterized by pomp, colour, and merry-making. There will be relatives from far and wide, friends, ushers, and of course the newlywed couple. Some of them may feel comfortable in one setting and feel uneasy in another. A simple example is that some of them may not feel at home in a venue where alcohol is flowing throughout the streets.
Before selecting any venue, you have to be certain about the number of guests you are expecting. You do not want a spacious reception area that will cost a lot and yet you have few guests or vice versa. The first question that should come into mind before selecting a wedding reception venue is the general decor of the place. Remember that there is some cash that will have to be invested in getting wedding reception decorations. You should ensure that the decor matches the wedding colour themes. This way, it will ensure that you do not have to spend a lot of cash on decorations such as flowers. If you are using fabrics to decorate the place, will the fabrics you have in mind blend in perfectly with the venue? If you find the answers to these questions then you have probably found your reception area.
Having said that, it is worth noting that the reception venue can be classified into two major categories. It can be an outdoor location or an indoor venue. Depending on the decision made by the organizers, prior preparations should be made as soon as possible to ensure the facility is ready for guests. Some couples dream and indeed prefer to have an outdoor reception, mostly on the beach, where they can hear the soft roar of the waves splashing the shore. Under the sparkling stars at night, such a setting offers the most ideal mood for people who are in love to renew their commitments to each other. Many couples prefer to avoid the risk of weather changes, so they choose an indoor location. Such a setting has its own merits, for one can decorate the place as much as they like, and there is a sense of privacy.
When it comes down to wedding venue decorations, always put into consideration the season of the wedding. Whether it is summer, winter, or any other season, make sure that the decorations are chosen to blend in well with the season. Also, remember that creativity is what determines how the venue turns out. Employing various aspects such as lighting, centrepieces and table decorations with utmost care can help make the day more special.
Though some wedding reception venues are gorgeous, they do not offer quality food to complement their venue. As such, it is critical to ensure that you sample the food they have on offer. If you do not like it, neither will your friends, and you have to keep on looking. In addition to this, you should inquire whether or not you are allowed to bring in your own caterers and if yes, what limitations they have.
A successful wedding reception should be able to cater to all the needs of your invited guests. Find out if the venue has enough bathroom facilities. If the reception is to be held indoors, you should always ensure that you check to confirm how far off the parking area is from the reception area. In addition, you should confirm whether they have adequate parking for the guests you are expecting. Remember proper research is what determines the kind of reception area you will get.
