How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Venue

Your venue sets the tone for your entire wedding day.
When viewing potential venues, consider:
• Capacity and guest comfort.
• Overall atmosphere and style.
• Accessibility for guests.
• Available accommodation.
• Parking facilities.
• Backup plans for bad weather.

Visit venues in person whenever possible. Trust your instincts and choose a venue that aligns with your vision, guest count and budget.
Most importantly, ensure the venue feels right for both of you.
