Choosing a reception hall or event center for your wedding can be overwhelming. Use these helpful tips for guidance on choosing the right space for your big day.
Planning a wedding is so fun and exciting, but it can also be rather stressful. One of the potentially hardest parts about planning a wedding is choosing the venue. From reception halls to event centers in Edinburg, TX
, there are a lot of options when it comes to wedding venues. Rather than allowing yourself to get overwhelmed, use these tips to help make your venue search easier and more effective:
- Set Your Budget – No matter if you’re paying for your wedding yourselves or having family chip in, you need to set a firm budget before you can start looking for venues or event centers. Once you know your budget, you will be able to root out venues that are too expensive right away, saving you time on unnecessary research.
- Book Soon – Most good venues book up around a year in advance these days. This is especially true if you are looking for a Saturday in the spring or summer. Don’t wait to book your venue as you don’t want to miss out on the perfect spot.
- Know What You Want – Take some time to come up with a general idea of what you want your wedding to be like or feel like. This way you can begin to narrow down your venue search. Are you hoping for a rustic feel? Check out some barns. Do you enjoy more traditional receptions? Look into reception halls.
- Be Aware of Partner Expectations – Not every half of every couple is going to be thrilled or excited about searching for venues. Have an honest conversation with your partner about how much or how little he or she wants to be involved in the venue search. If your partner isn’t very interested in this aspect of the wedding, look for help in other places such as parents, friends, or other family members.
- Be Open with Dates – Going into a venue search with a general but still open idea of dates will make everything easier. It will be very tough to find your perfect venue and your perfect date. Be a bit flexible. You can also look into alternative days such as Fridays or Sundays as both will be less expensive and probably more open than Saturdays. If you’re getting married locally you can also look into Thursday evenings.
- Ask About Approved Vendors – A lot of venues have a short list of approved vendors that they work with. If you have your heart set on a particular vendor such as a caterer or DJ, be sure to ask potential venues about their openness to vendors not on their list. However, you can pretty much trust that a vendor on any approved list will be high quality, as event centers are careful about who they work with.
