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.

It is usually very important to decide the type of ceremony you want whether church based function or traditional one. This will point you in the right direction as far as choice of venue is concerned. For church functions, the ideal venue would be church hall. For traditional weddings, the options are unlimited. You can opt for garden function or hall depending on your preference.

The venue you choose will be determined by the number of guests you expect. Prepare a guest list beforehand. This will help you choose a venue with the right size. The right size will have sufficient space for your guests. Consider where majority of your guest live. You will be able to save costs on transportation and accommodation by choosing a location convenient for your 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.

It is true that finding a good venue for your big day can be a daunting task. Fortunately, the choices are incredibly diverse. Couples have the options of choosing banquet halls, country clubs, small restaurants, cafes and many others.
