Small Wedding Venues – Things to Remember

A wedding is a big day for a couple, and it can take a lot to plan the perfect one.  The sheer range of different issues that have to be dealt with can make one’s head spin.  In many cases, choosing to hold the wedding at small wedding venues can help alleviate a bit of the stress since they’ll often provide an excellent location for the wedding as well as the reception.  Most can also help with a number of different aspects of the wedding, from the flowers to the food.  But you’ll want to keep a few things in mind when planning out a wedding at one of these venues.

The first thing to remember – and one that is often forgotten – is whether or not other weddings are planned for that day.  Far too many couples plan a special day and prepare for their wedding only to suddenly realise that while they’re having a wedding at the venue’s gazebo another separate wedding is happening a hundred yards away at the venue’s garden or chapel.  You want your day to be about you, and it’s important to set up a wedding at small wedding venues that will focus only on you for your big day, not on trying to ‘double up’ on their profit.

Another thing to consider is accommodation.  When possible, staying at the actual venue on the night before is the best option available.  There’s no need to wake up and drive to the wedding or worry with traffic or delays.  You can wake up and enjoy the morning as the big moment approaches.  Most garden wedding venues have this option for the bride and groom as well as for some of their wedding party, making it easy to enjoy the day without too much stress or worry, so be sure you look into the option.

If you do plan on using the experts at small wedding venues to help plan out parts of your wedding, be sure that you give them as much input as they may need.  Instead of just asking them to handle the catering, for instance, find out if you have various types of food options to choose from.  You still won’t have to worry with too much but you’ll be able to enjoy knowing that those who are handling various parts of the wedding will know exactly what you want, which means that you’ll have plenty of luck with it.

To put it simply, finding small wedding venues to host your wedding is one of the best ways to ensure that the entire event goes smoothly.  You don’t want to just assume that you can book a day and ignore it until it comes, however.  Use some common sense and do a small bit of research and you’ll find that a venue can serve as the location and as a kind of partner in helping you plan the perfect wedding.  It’s still work, but they can help if you’re willing to let them.
