7 Tips on choosing the perfect wedding venue

2 min read

1. Decide on your budget

First and foremost, before looking at possible wedding venues, you must decide on a budget. It is no use falling in love with a venue that you cannot afford.

2. Be on the lookout for promotional wedding packages

The best way to avoid overextending yourself but still find a great venue to cater for your wedding is to be on the lookout for special promotions or discounted wedding packages, for instance, this promotion that is currently available at Blowfish Restaurant:

3. Avoid waiting until the last minute to book the venue

Avoid waiting until the last minute before making a booking. Your wedding venue is one of the most essential decisions of the wedding planning process. Book the chosen wedding venue well ahead of time, especially when the venue has a special wedding package promotion that expires within a certain time.

4. Choosing a convenient location

How many of your guests will have to travel from afar? It is worth looking into venues that are easily accessed from airports and nearby accommodation. Another consideration is the logistics side of things. If you hire a photographer, makeup artist and DJ, keep into consideration that if they need to travel quite the distance, you will be paying more since they will have to be compensated.

5. Deciding on the number of guests

Try to keep the guest list to a minimum with only close friends and family and decide on a venue that can accommodate the number of guests that will be attending.

6. Visit the wedding venue before the time

After narrowing down your perfect wedding venue, set aside a day to visit them in person. Sometimes photos and information on the leaflets and websites may not give you an accurate idea of the place. You need to experience the ambience and overall experience in person to make sure you have made a good selection.

7. Take pictures of the venue

While you are there, take a few pictures or a video. This will assist you with planning your wedding colours, decorations, and flowers for this special occasion.

We hope these 7 tips on choosing the perfect wedding venue have been useful to you and that you will find a venue that meets all your requirements and make your big day extra special.
