Your Passion When Choosing a Venue For Your Perfect Wedding

All right you’ve considered and have a fairly good idea about what you’d like to do with your: budget, style, location, size, religious requirements, and the season that makes the most sense for your wedding. Now you’re ready to look for some wedding venue possibilities. Any of your choices here may mean that you need to rethink some of your answers to the questions about size and style. You have to assume that your budget is non-negotiable, unless you decide to spend a lot LESS money. Upward doesn’t work. You don’t want to spend money you don’t have.

But one of the best ways to choose your venue is to base it on, not what venue hosts 300 weddings every year, but rather on what means something to you. Once you know what’s important, you can always make something work. And if you’ve done your homework about budget and size and those other things, you can find a place that works perfectly for what you want and at the same time exemplifies who you are and what matters to you as a couple. This will make it so much easier for your community to get behind you and support the marriage, your embarking on.

If you’re passionate about food: choose a great restaurant or a great caterer (who is going to have some preferred venues.) These venues will have number of guest restrictions and of course the price of food may impact your budget as well!

If you’re passionate about beers or wines: you may want to choose a vineyard or brewery. I’ve been in some wonderful wine bars and wine stores that might be wonderful for an intimate, interesting wedding.

If you’re passionate about the beach: Do you want to be married on the shore or in a resort nearby?

If you adore the mountains, find an inn, or a campground or a park (or a ski resort that is off season, and therefore cheaper, during the summer!).

Are you sports fanatics? Do you want to play croquet at your wedding? (No contact sport, all you need is for bride or groom to get a broken leg! Do you want to arrive on bicycles from opposite directions leading your guests who ride? (If I’m your wedding celebrant, I’ll meet you there with the other non-riding guests, ok?) Or, (and I’ve been waiting to ask this) is a tailgate wedding right for you?

Are you a history buff? Is there a mansion, or a fort, or park which is historic and interesting to you?

Are you family kids at heart? Is there a place one of your families always went? Is there someplace you’d like to nominate for your future family reunions? Plan your wedding and choose your venue around your family.

You might be interested in geology or hiking or art or amusement parks (take your first dance on the carousel – but hold out for one with a calliope!). You might be dedicated to your community. Whatever it is that thrills you can be converted to something that interests your crowd. You always want to pay attention to their comfort. You want to pay attention to your wedding ceremony and your wedding vows, because after all this is a wedding, this is meant to start your marriage. But choose a venue that you’re likely to visit again and again. Every time you do, you will remember the promises you made and the love you have for your partner, and it will renew your spirits and your marriage!
