subject: Wedding Venues And Reception Halls Essentials [print this page]


There are very important considerations when making a choice at a possible wedding reception venue. Looking at reception halls is one of the first things you will want to do after you have selected a wedding date. The reason for this is that most reception and banquet halls book in advance and you don't want to have to settle for something thats not your primary choice because you didn't start shopping for reception halls early enough.

Generally reception halls start booking their space six to nine months in advance, so you'll want to book the space before someone else does. When you are viewing banquets halls you'll want to ask about deposits and what services they provide. Many wedding halls will provide table cloths, and simple center pieces for all of the tables such as votive candles or mirrored tiles. It's good to have an idea of what each of the wedding venue will provide so you can plan accordingly and contact other wedding party vendors that you might need.

Here are a few pointers:

1.Choose something that is relatively close to your wedding site. The most convenient choice would be, of course, to choose a wedding reception place that will be the site for the ceremony and the party.

2.Look at several different banquet or reception halls to get an idea of all of the options. Shopping for several wedding halls will allow you to make better decisions since youll have a list of wedding services that comes along with a venue.

3.The more wedding service package options, the better! Wedding party vendors often present an array of packages you can choose from. A vendor can provide almost all the basics for a reception like food and catering, music, decorations, the cake, and even a host for the party. You may also be able to add in special requests from the vendor such as surprise programs and wedding favors.

4.Choose an events hall that can fit in all of your guests comfortably. Your banquet room or reception hall should allow for smooth traffic, a space for the dance floor, the buffet table (if applicable), and the stage. The reception is the after party and it should give a loose ambience so everyone can celebrate and have fun.

5.Make sure you have enough parking spaces for the guests. Parking space is an often taken for granted consideration when looking for wedding reception sites, so remember to look into this. You can also ask if they will be providing valets.

6.Check for the banquet facility. Are there rest rooms? Are there alternative sites in case something goes wrong? Hows the security? It is important to ask and get favorable answers to these questions.

Once youve made sure that the events hall can provide what you need for the reception, the next step is to book the place. Deposits for a banquet hall can range from 5-10%. Inquire about cancellation policies, because many times the money that you put down for the initial deposit is not refundable. If this is the case you might want to just put down the minimum amount, even if you are sure that the reception will be taking place! When you book your location you'll want to walk through all of your expectations and be very clear on what the location provides and what they do not provide.

If you live in the areas of Tampa, Oldsmar, Clearwater, Largo, St Petersburg, Odessa, and New Port Richey, try Bayanihan Arts and Events Center. They provide one of the best banquet halls and facilities around, which will surely make your event even more special. They have small and large sized convention and conference centers for any guest size and activity.
