The location of your wedding and reception can be one of the most important decisions. You need to decide if you are going to have your wedding ceremony and reception in the same location, or different. The location for your wedding can also determine your date depending on what is available. Choose a place that reflects you and your future husband's personality. My daughter, and her now husband decided they wanted their wedding to be somewhat hassle free so they had a destination wedding in Mexico. It was fun and very relaxing for all of us. Whether a beach, outdoors, or in a traditional setting select a place that will add to your special day. I have created a board on Pinterest that has ideas for different types of weddings and venues.
Questions you may want to ask when searching for a venue:
What is the fee, and what is included in the cost?
How many events do you host in one day?
Is there a coordinator available, and is this an additional cost?
What is the maximum number of guests you will allow?
Can your own decorations be brought in? Food? Other?
What sound equipment is available?
Are there certain areas of the venue you will not have access?
What is the time you can get into the venue, and when do you have to be out?
Can you choose your own vendors (food, band, photographer, etc.), or do you have to work with the vendors the venue uses?
This site has a downloadable list of questions to ask when looking for a venue. No matter where you decide to hold your wedding/reception make sure you have all the answers to your questions and have a signed contract well in advance.
