2. Your special day
Selecting the venue to hold your special
day can be a tricky decision because the
consequences are so big. Your wedding
day should be a special day and the
venue should ideally represent this. Many
women have dreamed about their
wedding day since they were young
which makes it far more vital that you
choose the right wedding venue.

3. What type of venue?
The wedding venue naturally has a tremendous influence on your special day.
It is thus vital that you pick the best wedding venue. Whilst it should not
depend upon cost, cost is having said that a huge factor that needs to be
thought about as weddings can be pretty costly.
In order to choose a venue, you really need to decide what the venue is for.
Some couples hold the dinner and the reception at a venue but have the
wedding ceremony in a church. Other couples however prefer to have the
civil service at the same venue which means getting a venue with a ceremony
license.

4. Church weddings
Church weddings are the most popular and so the
majority of the time, you just need to search for a
venue to host the reception. Quite often people have
a church in mind so the venue that you decide to
host the wedding reception will very much depend
on the church.
While many couples like to have a church wedding,
others choose to have a non-church wedding. If
you'd like to have a civil wedding, you have to find a
licensed wedding venue. The benefit here is that you
can pick the setting of your ceremony and minimal
travelling is required.

5. Venue size
An important element when selecting a wedding venue is the
size of the venue. Usually, the price of the venue increases as
the size of the venue increases and as a result you'll need to be
conscious of this but you'll need to keep in mind that generally
the bigger venues are much more comfy.
Dinner at a wedding is traditional. It’s where the embarrassing
speeches happen and where the wedding venue can really
make the biggest difference. The standard of the food is
obviously important but so is the setting of the wedding venue
has a major effect. It is where your guests have the chance to
speak to each other and appreciate the day.

6. Entertainment
The evening’s entertainment is extremely
important. Nearly all couples choose to
have a band and a dance floor and
therefore need a fairly large venue. The
dance floor can either be in the main room
or a room nearby. The important thing is to
find a venue which can house a dance floor
with the minimum disruption, obviously if
the dance floor is in the main room; the
room needs to be big enough to
accommodate both a dance floor and the
tables for the wedding breakfast.

7. Price
The price of the venue is usually the
deciding factor for many. Despite the
fact that your big day should really be a
special day and it should be affordable.
This might mean lowering the number
of guests or selecting a smaller venue.
