Picking your wedding venue is one of the biggest decisions you will make when it comes to planning your wedding. Your venue will set the stage for the entire ceremony and celebration. So, you want to make sure the venue is a good fit for your needs and the style you are looking to achieve.

This is also such a romantic part of the planning process. To be able to visit different venues and have fun visualizing what your wedding would be like at each one. Yes, at the end of the day the venue needs to work for your needs, but most importantly have fun with the process.

To help you go into each one of your tours with some understanding on what to pay attention to we created this outline for you on what to focus on. This will help make sure you pick a venue that fits your needs and allows your dream vision to come to life.

Outdoor vs. Indoor

When you’re planning your wedding, one of the first decisions you’ll need to make is picking the right venue. Do you want an outdoor or indoor wedding? Here are a few things to consider when making your decision:

Weather: If you’re set on having an outdoor wedding, you need to be prepared for any type of weather. That means renting a tent and having a backup plan in case it rains.

Indoor weddings give you the benefit of not having to worry about the weather, but that comes at a price. Venues can be more expensive and harder to come by than outdoor spaces.

Size of the venue

When it comes to wedding venues, size definitely matters. But how do you know if a venue is too big or too small for your wedding? Here are a few things to consider when choosing the right size venue for your big day.

Guest count: This is probably the most important factor to consider when choosing a venue. You want to make sure your guests will be comfortable and have enough space to enjoy themselves. If you’re inviting 200 guests, you’ll need a much different sized venue than if you’re only inviting 50 people.

Type of event: The type of event you’re having will also affect the size of venue you need. A more formal, sit-down dinner will require a larger space than a casual cocktail party.

Budget

The first step is to figure out your budget. Once you know how much you're willing to spend, you can start narrowing down your options.

Here are a few tips to help you choose the right wedding venue on a budget:

1. Set a realistic budget. This will help narrow down your options and make the decision-making process easier.

2. Consider all costs associated with the venue. This includes things like catering, décor, and rental fees.

This is where it helps to go with a venue that provides more than just the venue space. For example, decor is included at The Wildflower 301 which can save you hundreds to thousands of dollars. Being aware of those options can make a big difference.

Personal style

When it comes to wedding venues, there are a lot of factors to consider. But one of the most important is your personal style. Here are a few tips on how to pick the right wedding venue for you:

First, think about the overall look and feel you want for your wedding. Do you want something elegant and classic, or modern and chic? Does it need to be rustic and woodsy, or is a more contemporary feel okay? Be as specific as possible. Is there a certain color palette you want to use for the wedding? Do you want to incorporate your culture in any way?

Conclusion: Finding your venue!
