Factors To Consider When Choosing Fairhope Wedding Venues

By Olive Pate


Shortly after your engagement, you will not only get thousands of well wishes from your friends and relatives but you will also get the inevitable question of when and where. These two questions are never easy to answer. Gone are the days when couples would settle on the church hall for a nuptial venue and check that task off their wedding planning list. Since the number of wedding venues has tremendously increased, couples need to think about a number of factors before making a choice. To many, choosing a wedding venue might seem like a task consisting of only liking the place or not. In reality however, there are a number of factors you need to consider if you are to find that ideal venue. Below are a few factors you need to consider when looking for the best Fairhope wedding venues.

If you do not already have a venue in mind, you will do yourself a lot of favor by asking for recommendations from some of the people you trust. For instance, if you know anybody who celebrated his/her union in the recent past, you may ask him/her about the venue they used and whether they found it good. Other than your friends and such like people, your other vendors will also be in a good position to recommend a venue for you.

Before you go venue hunting, you also need to have a budget of just how much you are willing to spend on the venue. As a thumb of rule, you should never spend more than ten percent of your wedding budget on venue hire. At the same time, you should also bear it in mind that nothing good comes free. In other words, you should be prepared to pay a little bit more if you want the best venue for your big day.

The number of guests that you expect to attend the function is also very important. This is what will inform the size of venue you choose. When booking your venue, you should also look for one that is slightly large. Believe it or not, most venues will not be able to accommodate even twenty extra guests.

Most of the good venues usually get booked several months in advance. Because of this, you need to inquire about the availability of your preferred venue before settling on it. This will help you avoid last minute disappointments.

Whether can also be a big factor especially if you are planning to hold apart or the whole of your function outdoors. Celebrating your wedding on a sunny day can be great. However, you never know when the skies will open up. Because of this, you need to choose a venue that has an alternative hall in case it starts to rain.

If the venue is easily accessible, you can expect that a large number of your guests will come driving. Because of this, you also need ample parking for your guests. If the venue does not have enough parking spaces, then there should be paid parking around.

With these tips in mind, finding a good wedding venue should be pretty simple. It is however important that you start the search early enough. This is because the best venues usually get booked several months in advance.
