Tips For Choosing Wedding Locations In Vermont

By Gwen Lowe


When couples start shopping for wedding venues, more often they fall in love with the beauty of the place and sign the contract before considering more important and practical issues. But unless the place is just magical and you are willing to take risks with it, you should never choose a venue for your big day until you have the approximate number of expected guests and your budget. You also need to decide whether to host the main ceremony and reception in the same place. Below are tips to help you choose ideal wedding locations in Vermont.

Your number one consideration should be style. You need to sit down with your partner or fiance and discuss the kind of theme you want for your big day. You should decide whether you want a vintage celebration or something modern. Whatever your choice, deciding on the style before you go venue hunting will prevent you from being swept away by venue simply because it looks nice.

Size also matters. You should decide whether you want red carpet function with everybody in town in attendance or just a small intimate affair. This is one decision that will definitely affect your venue choice. If you opt for a small, cosy restaurant for the reception, it may not be able to accommodate your long list of guests.

Budget is another factor you must consider. You should discuss with your partner how much you are willing to cough out on venue. If you are madly in love with a venue and you are operating on a tight budget, there are ways to get around it. One way is to slash budget from other things.

Consider the time of year you plan to get married. Once you have decided on a date, visit the venue to check the availability of space. Couples who are flexible on dates and seasons have many options to choose from. It is wise to visit a venue on a Saturday when people are getting married. This helps you identify the different types of wedding arrangements that suit the venue. You will have a clear picture of what to expect during your ceremony.

You must also make up your mind whether to use one venue for both the main function and the reception. Even though this is one way of cutting costs, it will depend on the capacity of the venue to host the two events. To make your work even easier, you can also run online search. Most wedding venues nowadays have websites where you can find all the details you are looking for. This has made work very easy for couples.

If you know other couples who celebrated their weddings in the recent past, you can always ask them for recommendations of perfect venues around. Other than other couples, you can also seek referrals from vendors you have chosen like photographer, deejay, florist or caterer. They will be in a good position to give you recommendation since they perform in various venues on a very regular basis.

You should also make sure that the venue is near a good parking lot or garage. If parking space is a problem, you should look for alternative transportation for the guests. This will ensure that you do not inconvenience your guests.
