A Guide to Finding Your Dream Wedding Venue

Venues

Rumour has it you’re getting married? Congratulations! Getting engaged is such a special time in one’s life and should be savoured and enjoyed by you both along with your nearest and dearest! However, many ask what happens next? The family whatsapp group can’t handle any more ring selfies or invites to “celebratory drinks” and your work colleagues can’t hear the proposal story again for the tenth time so therefore, the planning starts! Do not be afraid weddingsonline are here to help you every step of the way!

Finding your Dream Wedding Venue is one of the most important factors in planning your wedding. The venue will determine your whole wedding vibe, look and feel you are after, for this reason, you must sit down and discuss with each other exactly the type of wedding you want and atmosphere you wish to create. You also need to decide on guest numbers, and you need a defined budget set in place before you start. Once you’ve thoroughly discussed this then you should be ready to start the exciting first step – Finding Your Dream Venue!

Viewings and Wedding Venue Questions You Should Ask

Once you have narrowed down your potential venue list to a reasonable number of venues (five is usually my advice!) you should arrange a private viewing or request to attend a showcase they may have coming up – keep an eye here on our events page. It is important, if possible, to attend an onsite viewing in order to get a feeling for the venue, see it fully dressed and meet the team.

Viewings should be fun and exciting and should allow you make the right choice for you both! If this is not possible Virtual Viewings are now available in most venues nowadays! Attending the viewing is the next step and knowing all the right questions to ask is half the battle, so we have created a detailed list of all the wedding venue questions you should ask before and during your venue visit.
