Steps to follow when looking for wedding venues<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Choosing a Red Bank wedding venue for your wedding is possibly the most important step in your planning. You need to plan well in advance to be able to get a venue of your choice for the dates that you want. If you choose a venue that does not cater to all your requirements, or that is too small, it could end up messing up this important life event. Here are a few things you should keep in mind when choosing a venue. <\/p>\n

    \n
  • Religious or non-religious ceremony<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \u2013 This is the very first decision you need to make about your wedding. Most couples know if they want a church wedding, but you and your partner need to discuss and come to a decision on this before going ahead. This will be the first step in deciding a venue.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Feel of the wedding<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \u2013 Do you want a beachside romantic wedding or an elegant vineyard setting? Decide on what your wedding to be like \u2013 classy, fun, solemn or a classic theme wedding. Knowing this will help you shortlist venues to those that suit the feel and style you are looking for.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Logistics<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \u2013 Ensure you take your time on this one. Check every single detail before you finalize anything. Things to check for include:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Size of venue according to the scale of wedding<\/strong> \u2013 will it fit all your guests comfortably?<\/li>\n
        • Seasonal venues<\/strong> \u2013 is it a summer or winter wedding venue?<\/li>\n
        • Special accommodations<\/strong> \u2013 do you need wheelchair access or safety for toddlers?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
          • The venue at the day and time of the actual wedding<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            \u2013 if you plan a Saturday morning wedding, visit your chosen venue at that time of the day on a Saturday to see what the venue looks and feels like.<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Full service or not full-service venues<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              \u2013 Will the venue take care of catering, flower arrangement and other logistics for the wedding or will you have to do all of it on your own? Ask these questions and make up your mind on whether you want more hassles and spend less money, or spend a little more and let them take care of everything while you give them instructions.<\/p>\n

                \n
              • Nature of catering services<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                \u2013 Will the caterers be able to accommodate your special requests, or will you have to choose from a set of standard menus? This again will determine how you choose caterers and what customization you want for the food at your wedding. <\/p>\n

                It always better to have enough time to visit venues, talk to venue managers before deciding on a venue. That way, you will have seen the venue and got all the details you need so you can make an informed decision.<\/p>\n
