[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When it comes to planning your wedding, there is a huge amount you have to organise and a lot that needs to be done. Naturally, all couples want their big day to be extra special, but in order to ensure it all goes to plan, you need to plan ahead and make sure you get all the major aspects of your wedding sorted out, one of which is the wedding reception.
The reception is a huge part of the wedding day, so it is only natural that couples want everything to go without a hitch. One of the key things you have to think about when it comes to your reception is where you will hold it, and your choice of venue can have a massive impact on the overall enjoyment of the day for all concerned.Â
It can be stressful and daunting deciding upon something as important as the venue for your wedding reception. However, keeping some key points in mind can help to make it far easier to make the right decision. Some of the factors to remember when looking for the perfect venue include the following.
- The Décor and Surroundings
When it comes to your wedding reception, you want the setting to be perfect both inside the venue and outside. Remember, it is not just what you will see on the day – there will be many photos and videos taken of you both on this big day, so the surroundings will form part of the lasting, treasured memories for decades to come. So, find somewhere that boasts attractive surroundings and views as well as beautiful interior décor and design.
- The Maximum Capacity of the Room
If you want the perfect wedding reception, you want to be able to invite all your special friends and loved ones rather than just a selection of them. However, if you choose a venue that is too small, you may have to leave some people off the invitation list. On the other hand, choosing somewhere too large means that people will be more segregated, which can impact on the atmosphere at the reception. So, make sure you know how many you want to invite and check the maximum capacity of the venue.
- Location and Parking
Every couple’s nightmare is that nobody other than very close friends and family will show up at the reception. This is something that can leave the happy couple feeling deflated, but it does happen. Often, people do not come because the location is not convenient or because they cannot drive because there are no parking facilities. So, to boost the chances of a great turnout, make sure you check the location of the venue, how easy it is to get to, and whether there is parking.
- Reviews from Others
Without word of mouth recommendation, it is natural to still feel nervous even if you think you have found the perfect venue. One way around this is to go online and check reviews from others who have used the same venue for their wedding reception. This can give you added peace of mind and reassurance and can help you to more easily reach your decision.
