Choosing a Wedding Venue

Here at Mark Ammon Photography we know that choosing your Wedding Venue is one of the most important decisions to make when planning your Wedding. This often comes before choosing your wedding photographer, wedding videographer, florist or any of the other suppliers.

So what are the most important deciding factors when choosing a wedding venue? We spoke to some of our previous clients and we have compiled their most popular responses:

1, Choose a venue that suits your theme and personality.

We have seen a trend over the last couple of years for couples wanting something unique and personal for their wedding. Does your venue suit your style of wedding dress, colour scheme and theme of the day? Does it reflect your personality i.e a relaxed outdoors wedding or a vintage style themed wedding?

2, Cost and budget.

This needs no explanation really! Can you afford the venue? Is it over priced for the services you get or is it worth every penny? Is there any other cheaper venue that still has the same vibe but for a cheaper price? Will the venue do deals for off peak or mid-week weddings? Just a few questions to think about!

3, Location and ease of access.

Is your chosen venue easy for the guests to find? Will your choice of transport be able to get you to the venue? For example a stretched limo up a tiny winding track may not be possible.

4, Places to stay nearby.

If your guests are having to travel long distances does the venue have rooms or any local hotels or b&b's for your guests to stay in?

5, Beautiful grounds.

You have your perfect photographs in mind...all your props ready...but does your venue have the sort of grounds that will allow for the photos you want? A good experienced wedding photographer will be able to help you out here!

6, The Ceremony room or location.

When looking around venues make sure you ask where the ceremony is taking place. If it is outside, what provision will be made if it rains? Is the alternative indoor room suitable  for your theme? Will you be happy with the photo opportunities in the room? Is there enough room for your wedding photographer to get the shots you want and are their restrictions on where they can stand?

7, Friendly and helpful staff.

The staff and suppliers at the venue will play a huge part in your day. They will often be on hand to organise events and to be there in case something should go wrong. Do you trust the staff at the venue? Do you like them and want to spend your most important day with them?

8, Recommended by friends/family

There is nothing better than have a trusted close friend or family member recommend a venue or suppliers to you. If this is not possible you could ask to see examples of testimonials from former weddings at the venue. this is also a good strategy when booking your wedding photographer, video or any other suppliers.

We hope you have found these points useful! If you would like to share anymore with us and our blog readers please reply to this post!
