Deciding the Venue
Written on 12:45 AM by Moobells
When deciding the ideal wedding venue either for wedding solemisation or banquet or reception, you will need to look at the :-
Location
Will you prefer an outdoor wedding or indoor? Living in a tropical island with blasting sunshine and unpredictable rain, having an outdoor wedding might need careful contingency planning for the unpredictable. Will it be held locally or overseas? Now it is common for couples to going overseas to fulfill that dream wedding or just simply because one of the partners are from overseas. I still remember many years back, a friend who held her wedding at 4 locations : (1) Castle Wedding Solemisation @ Scotland (2) Wedding beer party @ Singapore (3) Wedding Banquet @ Kuala Lumpur (4) Lunch reception @ Tokyo. Hahahaha! Well, well, the lucky bride got all the luxury for marrying a CFO of a MNC. Moi??? Not too bad too! I am marrying a COW. Wahahahahahahaha! Of course the venue will need to fit your wedding theme be it fairytale, romantic, traditional, cosy, garden setting, chapel, seaside, sunset, yacht etc.
Size and Capacity
Even if you have find the ideal location that fits your ideal theme, its capacity must fit your guests size. If you are planning to invite hundreds, a small cosy restaurant would never be able to fit everyone. While if you are planning to invite only a 100pax, going for a huge restaurant for 1000 pax will be ridiculous since you won't be able to fill up the seats.
Logistics
Then it's the logistics and accessibility issues. This is especially so for overseas and out-of-the-usual wedding where getting to the location might require a little bit more of planning and transport arrangement on the guests part. As the hosts, would you be able to provide the necessary arrangements to accommodate their needs and provide accessibility? No matter how ideal a place, if it's really that inconvenience, it will be a dread for your guests to turn out and they may end up getting late due to transport issues.
Budget
Of course, at the end of the day, the use of the venue must be within your affordable means. =)
