Finding the Right Wedding Venue

Although finding the right venue is a big exciting part of the wedding planning process, couples often find that it’s not quite as they imagine it to be. Generally, ahead of starting the planning process, couples will have ideas in mind already, some quite open whereas others are very set on the type of wedding they want to have. This applies to the venue search especially. Some people will have a very specific idea of the sort of location they want for their wedding, but actually searching for the venue can change this completely.

Finding the perfect wedding venue is exciting, but it is also stressful. It’s important to know that despite having ideas beforehand, things can change and you may not necessarily end up with the wedding plans that you originally had in mind.

Ideas may change…

Even if you set out with the perfect idea of exactly where you want to get married or what type of theming and location you intend to have, this can always change. A lot of couples will have something in mind before they start properly looking for the right venue, and they think that their heads won’t be turned. However, a lot of the time this is not the case. In fact, some people end up completely changing their original idea!

Going to visit venues influences your decision quite heavily. Even if you’ve had somewhere in mind all along, if it doesn’t feel right when you visit it, this can completely turn your plans upside down. It is important to be open minded when visiting venues, so that you can find the perfect location for the big day.

Budget can be quite limiting

Perhaps you are planning on getting married abroad and have a specific location in mind. Even if this is the case, if your budget doesn’t stretch to cover this, you will have to reconsider. A realistic budget is essential. This ensures that you’re planning everything within the price you can afford, and you don’t end up disappointed because you later realise that it will cost too much money.

It goes without saying that weddings abroad are quite pricey, but depending on where you actually choose to get married, this can vary. You could have somewhere in mind for a long time prior to looking for the venue, but upon searching, you may realise that the cost of traveling and having a wedding there is way out of your budget. However, this doesn’t at all mean you cannot still have your dream wedding abroad. Instead, you should research other options, and find somewhere that is affordable but still in a beautiful location!

Narrow down your options

Although some couples are too focused on specific ideas for their wedding, some people can be too far opposite of this. They might be completely open to everything and anything. This makes the process of wedding planning exciting, but it can also become stressful if you’ve too many options. Therefore, it is important to narrow everything down so that you only have a handful to choose from and you can maintain focus.

You might benefit from the help of a wedding planner!

A lot of couples prefer to plan their wedding entirely themselves without enlisting the help of others. This is realistic and completely possible, however sometimes you find that a bit of professional advice and knowledge can really help. If you’re struggling with finding the perfect wedding venue, you might benefit from hiring a wedding planner to help you along and plan the perfect day.

This immediately eliminates some of the stress as well as giving you a professional insight and having the expertise of a wedding planner. Wedding planners also often have access to more venues and locations that you don’t know about or are unable to book. By telling a wedding planner what you have in mind, they can find locations and venues for you that fit your idea perfectly.

When you know, you know

Despite the process of finding the perfect venue being stressful at times, it is true that when you know, you know! As soon as you visit the perfect venue and see it in person for the first time, you will know that it’s the one. Though this might not be the sort of place you originally had in mind, going round visiting different places will really help you to make the right decision.
