The perfect venue can be very elusive and the search for it time consuming and frustrating. Don’t be disheartened though and never give up. Like looking for a new house you may have to visit a hundred places and then maybe a hundred more, but when the perfect one appears and all the boxes are ticked it will definitely be worth it! At the end of the day the choice is entirely personal, but there are some general factors to consider which are relevant to every couple’s decision. Size and space, location, accessibility, music, dancing, a theme, entertainment, food and drink, decoration and provision for children and elderly guests are all things to think about when considering wedding reception venues.
Wedding Reception VenueShould your wedding reception venue be large or smallChoosing the right sized wedding reception venue and using the space you have properly is absolutely crucial. Don’t forget that there will likely be more guests attending the reception than the service so more space may be required accordingly. It is important not to pick a venue that is too small, because guests are all squashed in together can be very problematic. Beware of venues advertising themselves as ‘cosy’. This often means tiny! Also the opposite is true. If the venue you hire is too large, the event will lose its sense of intimacy and guests may keep themselves to themselves, feel isolated and not mingle with others. When thinking about the space you have all your guests’ needs must be taken into account. Adequate seating should be provided and particularly if there is food or elderly guests are attending. A crèche facility may be helpful for guests with children. Elderly people often prefer quieter environments, so some seating away from the DJ or music is also recommended. A separate area for use by the bride and groom is also very useful. You will after all need somewhere to store all the presents!
