What to Pay Attention to When Choosing a Wedding Venue

A wedding and reception are top-tier events. They are accompanied by strong emotions, stress, and high expectations. And although it may seem like I’ve been to many weddings, so organizing my own reception should be a breeze, nothing could be further from the truth! When the preparations begin – it’s a blank slate. Choosing a wedding venue is a key element from which to start your wedding marathon. Below you’ll find a list of the most important points to help you find your dream wedding venue.

1. Plan a preliminary wedding date. The month in which your reception will take place is crucial. If you plan a summer wedding, it’s important that the venue has air conditioning (preferably modular air conditioning, so you can set a different temperature for the area where the guests are seated and another on the dance floor).
2. Create a preliminary guest list – the number of guests determines the size of the venue. Most venues list on their websites how many people they can accommodate, so getting this information won’t be a problem. This way, you’ll avoid wasting time visiting venues that are too small or too large.
3. Consider if your guests will need accommodation. When preparing the guest list, mark those who will likely stay overnight. These are usually guests who have to travel more than 30 km. When looking for a venue, pay attention to places that offer accommodation. A bonus would be an Aqua SPA zone where your guests can relax after an all-night party (be sure to inform them to bring a swimsuit 🙂 )
4. Choose the style of the reception. Think about what you dream of – whether you’re interested in a glamorous style, boho, or perhaps you wish for the wedding to be held outdoors. This will help guide your search and give you more time for other tasks.
5. Use the internet. There are many websites that gather both wedding venues and other service providers – bands, photographers, videographers, and decorators. Simply enter the location where you plan the wedding, and you’ll receive many suggestions. Below are links to the most popular sites: wedding.pl gdziewesele.pl weselezklasa.pl Pay attention not only to the venue photos but also to the reviews and comments.
6. If a venue has caught your attention, be sure to call and schedule a visit. Do not arrive unannounced as there’s a risk the venue will be unavailable. It’s important that the person showing you around is the one coordinating the wedding receptions because they will provide the most answers.

By following the above points when looking for a wedding venue, your search will be focused on a specific group of places and will certainly be more efficient. Good luck with your search 🙂
