Before you start actively searching for your dream venue, you need to make a few decisions. Discuss them in detail with your partner and family members.
Choosing a location
The first step is to choose a location. We're not talking about the type of wedding venue you prefer. It's about knowing exactly where you want to get married. There are many advantages to choosing a venue close to home. Or perhaps you prefer to be adventurous and get married abroad. So it's essential to make this decision together before your search really begins.
Choosing a date
This is perhaps one of the most difficult decisions to make. Choosing the date for your big day. The venue you choose will also depend on the season you're getting married. If you're getting married in winter, choose an indoor venue. If your big day falls on a date when the weather conditions are favourable, an outdoor venue is also a good idea. Tip: start with an open mind and keep several dates in mind. This will increase your chances of success!
Number of guests
Every ballroom has a certain capacity. Start by estimating the number of guests who will be attending your wedding. This will help you avoid booking a hall that's too big or too small. So choose a ballroom with the right capacity and take a look at it beforehand.
Determine the budget
The venue of your dreams obviously has a price. Work out the budget in advance. That way you can avoid falling in love with a beautiful venue that doesn't fit your budget.
Theme/style
To determine the theme of your wedding, the search for a reception venue can often prove useful. Start by doing some general research into the different types of reception venues. You may immediately fall under the spell of a romantic farmhouse or a country-style castle-farm. Or why not a beach house for your summer wedding? The opposite route is also possible. For example, you absolutely want a wedding inspired by royalty? Then look for a historic venue, an art-deco château or a luxurious ballroom.
GO!
