A wedding is in the offing, and arrangements are being made for the holy bond. There are logistics, clothes, decorations, emcees, food, and wait! – there must be a venue first! The wedding venue is one of the most underestimated aspects of a wedding. When we think of a marriage ceremony, the terminologies ‘guest list’ and ‘clothing’ pop up automatically in our minds. But it is only when the venue is available that we can further our destination wedding plans.
Yet, choosing the perfect wedding venue can be an overwhelming task! Nevertheless, it is one of the most exciting errands in the entire planning process because it sets the stage (literally) for the date and the theme of the entire show.
Pro tip: Begin your wedding venue search early to find a place that suits your requirements.
There are several things to be considered before you finalize a venue for the big day.
Budget
You might want to determine the cost and allocate a portion of the available budget toward the venue. Some locations include essential services, barring which, you have to seek the help of a planner for peripheral arrangements such as makeup and decorations. Find a venue that fits into your financial plan – make a list of your favorite places and then try shortlisting them. BTW, if you are looking only for affordability, you might end up picking out the wrong places.
Maximizing Availability
Early planning is imperative to ensure your wedding venue is available on your desired date. That is why beginning with a range of options and preparing a list (as mentioned above) of your favorite locations is a prerequisite to booking. The process also increases your chances of finding the perfect wedding resort and venue.
Theme
It’s not just about choosing a place – it’s about selecting a suitable space. A wedding venue must complement the theme of your wedding, too. Today's trend is to perform vast fairy tale weddings with stunning natural views in the backdrop. Indeed, creating magnificence around panoramic vistas gives the marriage prominence and a feeling of fulfillment. Besides, cohesion with wedding elements alongside menus and aesthetics can be achieved in the best ambiance.

Weather
Weather can play spoilsport if you don’t plan your wedding venue – for instance, if you are looking for an outdoor ceremony, you might want to check for inclement weather. In these cases, you must be prepared with a backup plan.
Guest List
How extensive is your wedding guest list? You might want to choose a wedding venue that has enough seating, especially if the invitees are expansive. A headcount estimate will help you gauge the area you need – for instance, a smaller guest list does not invite a large venue. The entire area might seem empty.
Connectivity
You may want to check logistics and connectivity to the wedding venue and if there is an airport, railway station, or even if it is closer to a bustling city. The drive to the venue should not be exhaustive, which can make everyone involved too tired to enjoy the actual event.
Amenities
Last but not least, consider facilities and amenities available at the venue, whether there’s parking, staff coordination, good linens, tables, and chairs, and if it’s a resort, check if they have a pool. A gorgeous poolside wedding will be a reminisce forever!
