How To Choose The Perfect Venue

With so many choices in North Carolina alone, wedding venue options are plentiful to say the least. We have created the perfect strategy for you to find the venue of your dreams! Before you book any tours at venues that may miss the mark, make sure you know the answers to these questions below.

1. What Season do you Plan on having your Wedding?

The most popular times of year are Spring and Fall for weddings, so if you pick something within the other seasons you will have more date options available. If you have your heart set on a Spring or Fall wedding then there is usually a wait time to be able to grab your spot so be prepared to wait at least a year.

2. What Days of the Week do you want to get Married?

Choosing a Saturday, like the seasons of Spring and Fall, puts you in a competitive position as that is the most popular day. If you plan ahead and pick a Friday or a Sunday for a weekend wedding there may be more openings available. There is also always the choice of having a weekday wedding, which is becoming more popular and something to definitely keep in mind!

3. What is the Count for potential Attendees?

Knowing a rough number of how many people you potentially want to invite will weed out venues that are either much too large or too small for your wedding! With an estimated count, the venue representative will be better able to suggest room layout options and provide a cost estimate.

4. What is the Vibe you want your Venue to portray?

Knowing the vibe you want your venue to have is key to narrowing down venue options. Maybe you dream of elegance and ballroom style decor or maybe a rustic barn wedding. Deciding what details you may want to incorporate ahead of time will help you choose the venue that will be the perfect backdrop to host everything you can dream of.

5. What is your Budget for the Venue?

Knowing the approximate price point you can spend on a venue will help you narrow your choices as well! Make sure you can afford the space and still be able to pay for everything else that you want to include in your day. Be sure to find out everything that is included in the rental to help you compare options.

6. Will you be hiring a Wedding Coordinator?

Many venues require couples to hire a wedding coordinator to ensure a smooth event. So make sure you do your research and know what hiring a wedding coordinator entails, costs, and what they help with leading up to and during your big day!

In Conclusion

We hope this little list helps start you off on the right foot as you begin the search for your perfect wedding venue! When you know the answers to these questions above, it truly helps you narrow down your venues to the few that you need to see, that will fit you and your wedding perfectly and save you time and energy from touring multiple venues that just won't fit right! We wish you luck on your journey to find the Perfect Wedding Venue!!
