#selectionofweddingvenues

Imagining your wedded life? Well i’m sure it’s a pretty one but how about we think of the more pressing matters that will lead the passage to your happily wedded life. For instance, like the correct venue for your wedding. While there are many aspects to consider, not being able to host the wedding in your desired place might leave a permanent spot of regret on the memories of your big-day. So start looking into venues if you have decided to get married along with your spouse even before your wedding date is fixed because great venues often tend to be booked 12 months prior to the weddings. Selecting and blocking the date would be the best option because other factors like – catering, decoration, guest list size depends wholly on the space you have. In the process you might also get to see each other in a new light as influx from online streaming can sometime deviate you into liking something not fitting the aesthetics you bear. Here are a few points to keep you from pondering:

SET YOUR BUDGET CLEAR -

Staying within what is possible will clear out a lot of non-feasible options which just wastes your time ultimately. It is more than just the renting cost of the place when have other things and vendors to buy & hire. So on top of knowing your overall budget, a breakdown based on category is just as important which will give you a clear picture about what to prioritize on.

 GET SOME ANSWERS -

·         Do you picture yourself in a specific wedding theme or do you like indoor or outdoor setting or having a fixation over beach sides or garden villas or elegant banquet halls?

·         Get to know about venue timelines because some have restrictions due overtime, it’s un-happening if you and your guests have to stop in between partying and enjoying. Also sort out things like if you want amplified music setups or not as certain venues do not allow it.

·         Confirming a back-up plan means in case any mishap were to occur in the venue just before or on the big day, what would be their emergency measurements?

·         How many people would you like to witness your wedding? Couples very likely underestimate their wish to invite people and how many more their parents would want to add. Cramming your guest list of 500 in a space which accommodates only 300 isn’t a favourable choice.

·         Are the venues you shortlisted accessible for your guests and vendors?

·         Consider accommodations for your out-of-town guests. If your house and the venue does not have enough rooms, then try choosing a place which will have hotels nearby and if it is safe or not.  They would also want to stay comfortably.

 PLANNER METHOD -

After you have sorted these question and answers, you can confirm the same with a wedding planner because they are the pros of the industry and know about the nooks and corner where it is definitely impossible for common people to set foot into. There, your planner might be your ultimate guide and rescuer.

 LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST -

Before confirming, it is very important to understand the venue itself.  Like whether they include any rentals within the price stated, clauses for cancellations, do they have security cameras well working, is the parking space suitable enough to hold all of the transport medium in one particular area or you need to rent a separate area, what will be the range of privacy for your function in case your venue has the system of keeping multiple events on the same day?. And after everything also see if you are getting that vibe from the location. If you keep having doubts and sleepless nights due to that, it might not be the correct place for your big day.

If you are thinking about giving it a rest after having your mind being wrecked with all the issues over the wedding venue, then it’s still early for that because the other task left to be prioritized over is none other than that of food arrangement. It will not just be a handful of dishes to select and prepare but a lot more than that to choose a fine menu matching with the wedding theme and also satisfying your guests. Remember that a delightful layout of menu holds the key to delightful wedding as recent trends have shown that people quite take into what they are being fed. Wedding menu obviously calls for a caterer and whether be it in-house caterer or one from your wedding planner or any individual set up, it’s better to start discussing menu ideas with them from an early stage. Here’s how to mark a caterer correct.

 The first thing which you should see is the quality of the food they are offering. Get a taste of some dishes prepared by them. Not being able to please the palates of your guests might remain as a topic amongst them. Check the presentation of the dishes also. The way the food is served is equally important as the taste of the food. In the process get your caterer to show you their quality of crockery & cutlery used, equipment, chafing dishes, attire of the staff also. Good food with bad appearance might just place a zero on your efforts. Additionally it is also better to include an ingredient alert on the foods for people with allergic reactions.

 If you are opting for seated dinner then it is advisable to have a prior look at whether they are having adequate staff count, the linens, seating arrangements, serving style, how prompt the staff is, in removing the used dishes & taking care of any spills etc. Confirm regarding housekeeping staffs too.

 It is a must for the caterers to maintain food safety and hygiene standards at all costs. People who are not maintaining these should be a straight no.  You need to assure that they are up front about their services to you and not taking up schedules here and there only to ruin your event due to lack of overseers.

 Talk about the costing and charges clearly, as different set-ups charge differently. Some charge on per plate basis while some on fixed contract rate over the number of heads specified. In some cases charges vary with types of snacks arranged or movable service provided or where there are hard drinks involved. Even in cases where the client arranges the drinks, bartenders are needed nonetheless which may or may not be included in their fixed charges.
