✨ Top 10 Tips For Picking the Perfect Venue (pt. 1)
💍 Start Your Search Early
Wedding venues are famous for getting booked up to 12 months in advance, so before you fall in love with a place just to hear they are booked for your day, start your search as early as possible! This should be number one on your checklist.
💍 Location, Location, Location
It’s important to know what setting you want to get married in. Once you have that figured out, think about details such as accommodations near this location such as nearby hotels, airports, accessibility, parking, etc.

💍 Understand the “Big Picture Budget”
When booking a venue, it’s easy to hear a flat rate price and want to jump the gun. However most venues, have fees that can really start to add up. Linens, tables, chairs, dinnerware, etc are all examples of prices that may be added on. Realistically a $10,000 wedding venue can quickly turn into a $15,000 venue without you realizing it. Go into your venue search with your questions ready so you can get an upfront answer about what will be included.
💍 Consider Your Guest Count
This should be done fairly quickly in the planning process. While you don’t have to necessarily narrow down the list right away, you will want to come up with a rough estimate going into your venue search to ensure your venue can accommodate what you’re looking for.
