Winning Wedding Venues – Making the Right Choice

Most couples put in a lot of time, energy and effort when planning for their wedding. This is such an important day when you commit to each other in front of witnesses and whether it is a civil union or religious one, it is natural to want it as perfect as possible. There are of course some major decisions among the minor ones, and one of the big decisions is the venue for the service, the venue for the wedding reception Toms River, or whether you want to have both at the same place. It is not an easy choice, there are a lot of options out there, so the best thing to do is look at your key needs for the wedding and then narrow down what venues suit those needs. Here are some key factors so that you make the right choice!

What are you willing to spend?

Really the first thing to work out is the numbers. What is your total budget for the wedding, (covering everything the big things and all the little things), and then how much of that can you spend on the venue, or venues? Most people spend a larger percentage of their budget on the venues. Are you having to set aside money to save up to do this? The more expensive a wedding you have the more saving you might need to do. The main factor in what your wedding will cost is how many guests are you having? If you both have large families and lots of friends you will need more money to have them all join you for your day. More people, of course, means the conference room NJ or venue you want, needs to be larger. Bigger venues cost more money.

When is the date set?

Then you need to set a date for the happy day. Summer is when most people like to marry, the sun, the outdoors, lovely wedding photos! That makes it the more expensive season too. The other seasons have something to offer though. If you do go for a summer wedding expect to book very early. A popular wedding venue is not going to be available 6 months from now or even 12 months from now. You need to expect more than a year in advance possible more for the more upmarket ones. Choose a different season and the wait time drops but you would need to ask them if your date is available before you start making any kind of set plans. Even if you are not getting married for a year or two, get your venues decided and booked.

Compare venues

When you are venue hunting choose to visit only ones in your budget range. There is no point in seeing things you cannot even dream of affording. Talk to their organizer about the kind of wedding reception Toms River you want. Compare the services they all offer, the rates they offer and ask about things like catering, entertainment, decorations, tables, linens and so on. Always have a choice one and two just in case something happens with choice one. The first venue might double book, it might need renovations, so have a lovely conference room, NJ that you loved as back up.
