Making Decisions About Reception Halls For Your Wedding
Reception halls can be an ideal setting for everything from weddings
, to anniversaries to graduation parties and so on. When you are planning an upcoming wedding, one of the most essential decisions that needs to be made is where the reception following the ceremony, will be held. If you live in an area with plenty of choices, making the proper decision can seem overwhelming and just plain difficult.
When looking at receptions halls, you have to consider other aspects of your wedding as well. The location for your reception may not be the first item to check off on your wedding to-do list but it is one of the most important of all of your choices for your nuptials.
The location of the hall makes a difference. Some newly married couples prefer a place that is close to the site of their wedding because it is convenient for all of their guests. Other couples may prefer a location that appeals to them because it holds happy memories for them or because it is out in the country. If you yearn for a few minutes of privacy together before the big celebration gets underway, look at venues that are a short distance from the church, but still not too far away for any of your guests to travel to. If you have any elderly or disabled guests, you may have to arrange transportation for them.
Reception halls tend to book up quickly so waiting until the last minute is a recipe for disappointment. Plan as far in advance as you possibly can. Planning a year in advance or more should get you the hall that you want most. Keep in mind that the time of year that you wish to marry in will affect the availability as well as the cost. Getting married in the summer months will cost you more for the rental than if you are getting married in the winter months.
If you are open to the date and do not have your heart set on a particular season, find out what dates are available for the venue, as well as the prices based upon the dates. It is probably a good idea to book the location for the ceremony and the reception at the same time. By doing so, you will ensure that both will be available on the day that you are interested in.
Dcor is another decision that you need to make in regards to the place where your big party will be held. You can make many of the dcor decisions later on, but in the beginning having a general idea of what you want is a good idea.
Tour reception halls to get a feel for the space. Find out what services are available. For instance, some venues may offer catering services, floral arrangements, disc jockeys, limo drivers, musicians and any number of other services. Inquire about package deals.
