The first item most brides look to book is the wedding venue — and with good reason! Your venue sets the tone for everything that is to come, it often helps determine your wedding date, and it can take up a large chunk of your wedding budget. Many brides or grooms also often have a sentimental attachment to the spot they choose to say “I do,” so (as with many wedding decisions) there’s an additional emotional factor to consider.

Some couples know exactly what type of wedding venue they’re looking for, but if you and your fiance are still open to all comers, here are a few pros and cons of different types of wedding venues to consider!

Once you’ve narrowed down the type of venues you’re considering, its time to start calling (or emailing) around. These are a few of the questions we recommend asking potential wedding venues:

Our Planner also has brainstorming sheets where you can record information and notes from all the venues you’re considering – super helpful!

Bonus! Here are two of our favorite tips that relate to wedding venues:

Visit your venue a year in advance. If you can, try to visit your venue as close to a year in advance as possible – it will give you some great insight into what the space will look like on your big day in terms of landscaping and scenery.
Get it in writing. Especially if you are asking for unusual allowances, like hanging a certain type of decor or setting up the space in a certain way (or early!), be sure to get the venue’s agreement in writing. That way, even if there’s staff turnover during your engagement, your provisions should be safe.

Belles, what type of venue did you choose for your wedding reception? I’d love to hear!

We’ll be sharing a quick and simple piece of wedding planning advice based on our most frequently asked questions once a week! Feel free to email us with your own question, or pick up a copy of the Southern Weddings Planner for all of our best resources in one place!
