Understanding What You Want

Before you start exploring venues, it's essential to have a clear understanding of what you want for your wedding. This might be the hardest part when it comes to deciding on a venue. Consider the following:

  • Theme and Style: Do you envision a classic, modern, rustic, or vintage wedding? Your theme will guide you toward venues that align with your style.

  • Guest List: How many people are you planning to invite? This will influence the size and capacity requirements for your venue.

  • Budget: Establishing a budget early on will help narrow down your options and prevent overspending.

  • Season and Date: Consider the time of year you wish to get married. Most venues offer discounted rates during off-peak seasons. But consider your wants and if Fall is the desired timeframe, then plan accordingly when developing a budget.
