Wedding Locations – How To Choose A Location For My Wedding?

Exclusive summary about Honeymoon by Yolanda Nash, and Jeanette Shinn

The location of the wedding is certainly one of the important things that a couple must consider on planning for their wedding. The wedding location greatly affects the theme and the mood of the couple’s wedding. There is a wide range of wedding locations that are available and it is just a matter of knowing where and how to look or select the perfect location that will suit the couple’s preferences in style.

few questions as key factors in choosing a perfect location for the dream wedding.

First is the distance of the location. How long will it take for the guests to reach the place?

Second, will there be any accommodations for the guests who are living out of town?

Third, and most important, the couple must check to see if there were already previous weddings that have taken place in the location that they will be choosing.

It may be helpful for the couple to start first in looking for a location within their hometowns. Or, the couple could also select a more traditional location for the wedding, like a hotel ballroom. In choosing a hotel ballroom, the couple will have the opportunity to select from a wide choice of simple to elaborate decorating designs, and from old trends for celebrating the wedding to the new and latest trends.

Another location to consider if the couple has a large budget for their wedding is the country club. This will be possible if the family of the couple has been a member of the country club for quite some time. The advantage of this location is that it can offer a very nice locale and comfortable atmosphere, not only for the couple but for the guests as well. Wedding packages are also available in country clubs, so the couple would be able to select according to their own preferences of how they would like their wedding to be.

And last, a couple could also choose to celebrate their wedding outdoors.

If the couple has a wedding planner, this person would be able to anticipate all that is needed for this kind of location.

Setting the Stage with your Wedding Location Choice

some old adages saying that location is everything. That might be true, It’s about making a memory and celebrating the lifelong commitment of two people to one another. So unless you are one who has to go wherever people go in your area to be seen, consider these five factors as you choose your wedding location.

First a note to those who do feel a need to have their wedding celebration at the hottest wedding location in town: Plan ahead. Wedding locations like those fill up early, and I mean really early. In my corner of the country I’m told that the top wedding locations fill their prime wedding dates upwards of eighteen months ahead! . Those most prestigious wedding locations are not cheap, commanding a price that is in direct relation to their level of prestige.

First, talk with your spouse to be.
To do that you need to talk to him and convince him that you really do care about designing a wedding that fits both of you and that starts with the wedding location.

Second, consider the needs of the support people who will be doing the work that goes into creating your special day.

Each business has its own realities that make it difficult, if not impossible to provide you the service that you’re paying for if the schedule that you arrange with the managers of the wedding location doesn’t allow enough time.

A good practice is to make a quick survey of wedding professionals that you are considering using about the time constraints they anticipate around your particular wedding date before you book your wedding location.

Thirdly, consider the type of wedding location that best reflects the wedding celebration you and your spouse want. For people who are active members of a local community of faith this might be as simple as a trip down to your place of worship. For outdoor enthusiasts, a park or ranch might be a more appropriate wedding location. For those that want to celebrate into the wee hours of the morning, a hotel ballroom might be appropriate for the reception, if not for the wedding location itself.

For more wedding location options try contacting your local tourism board. They can provide you with a list of wedding locations and reception facilities in your area. Likewise an internet search might provide some ideas for wedding locations that you hadn’t thought of or weren’t aware of, as would a local wedding coordinator.

Fourth, consider the calendar when booking the wedding location. The calendar dictates what kind of flowers will grace your wedding celebration (unless you are rich enough to import flowers from the other side of the globe), but it can also save you or cost you a lot of money. If you plan a wedding in a church or other public building during the Christmas season, for example, you might not have to worry about decorating. This includes everything from the wedding location itself to the flowers, cake, food, and photography.

Finally, consider the restrictions that each wedding location places on your wedding celebration either intentionally or by default. A park, for example, could be a great wedding location but it might not provide enough power to allow a band or DJ to set up. Churches, likewise, might have restrictions on what kind of music you can play, your dress, or whether or not you can have a dance as a part of the celebration. Furthermore, many hotels require that you use their staff and catering services as a part of the agreement (this is convenient but you can often do better both in quality and price by going with an outside vendor).

Bottom line; consider the details of whatever wedding location you settle on. Be sure that the effect it has on your wedding celebration fits with the wedding memories that you are trying to build.
