You have a wide range of options when it comes to choosing where you and your fiance will become a married couple. In fact, you basically have an endless choice of wedding venues. When you think about it, you could be married just about anywhere. Whether you decide on a church, your home or a friend or family member's home, a place specifically designed for ceremonies, or even your favorite bar or restaurant, you'll be able to enjoy the festivities and relish the moment for years to come.
There are still other unique choices as well. Some people choose venues such as a cruise ship or a yacht, a beachfront hotel or a resort, or even a lawn next to a swimming pool. In some locations such as a beach or a park, a special permit is needed. Whatever you choose, you want to make sure that you carefully pick the right location for you and your soon-to-be spouse.
Typically, people choose places such as a home or church for the marriage ceremony and then hold the reception some place else. In many instances, that means hiring a caterer, a photographer, a band or a DJ, a florist, and so on. However, there are many places that provide all the amenities and facilities needed for both the wedding and the reception. Most of these facilities are located in scenic, beautiful locations, such as near a lake or other body of water. The ceremony is held outside while the reception is held in a nearby building.
If you choose one of these wedding venues you'll need to ask a few questions to make sure that you are making the right decision. Find out how long it has been in business, how often they handle marriage ceremonies and receptions, and how much space is available for your guests. Also, make sure that the heating and air conditioning systems are working properly so that all of your guests will be comfortable.
When couples get engaged, they are usually married between six and 12 months later. While that seems like it would be ample time to choose among different wedding venues that are available, you'll be surprised at how much life can actually get in the way. Make sure you carve out the time to visit each location you're considering with your fiance to make sure both of you will be happy.
Closely look over any sort of contract that you receive to ensure all of the services you want will be included. If any family members are helping to pay for the ceremony and reception, make sure they are involved in your decision-making process. Take some relatively simple steps and you'll be on your way to a truly memorable occasion that you'll cherish for years.
