Selecting the wedding venue – some key points to consider

One of the most important decisions to make while making arrangements for a wedding event is to decide a wedding venue which is not only similar to what you have always dreamt of but also fulfills all your requirements. Though, a wedding event brings a lot of excitement to the newly wed due to the huge transformation coming into the couple’s life, yet you cannot afford to forget making the best possible arrangements for the guests. Before deciding anything about the theme of the wedding, decorations needed or the seating arrangement, you will have to look for the perfect wedding venue.

While getting a glance of the different wedding locations in Michigan, you should consider the following important points to assist you in making your decision – 

·         Size of the reception hall – Though you can never have the exact count of guests that will be arriving at your event, you can have a rough idea of it. Depending upon these figures, you should look out for a wedding venue with at least this much of capacity. It is pointless to pay for a hall with capacities much greater than your requirements. On the other hand, booking a hall with lesser capacity is also undesirable for obvious reasons. 

·         The location of the venue – For you, distance of the venue from your place may not matter much while for your guests; it is a reason strong enough to ignore your party. People tend to miss the parties where it will require several hours for them to reach the wedding venue especially if they are coming from out of town. Try to search for a place which is approachable for most of the guests and arrangements for stay can also be made at a place nearby. It will be even better if the venue itself has the possibility to accommodate the guests.

·         The kind of wedding party – You can organize a formal sitting dinner or a standing cocktail party. Depending upon this, you will either require proper sitting arrangement or enough space to move respectively. Also consider the other things such as is there enough space to make separate sitting arrangement for the couple and placing the wedding cake and perform the other ceremonies of the event. 

·         Food and drinks – It is very important to ask the owner if they are also providing catering services for the party or you will have to make separate arrangements for it. If they are, then determine what is the quality of the food, what menu do they have, how good are the catering services and how they charge. If not, you will have to look for catering services well in time and place your order accordingly. 

·         The kind of layout the venue has – While you check out various wedding locations in Michigan, you should remember that the first look says it all. If the wedding hall is just like what you have always dreamt of, then look no further. Take the help of the venue owner to lay the best plan of the venue. Get the arrangements made in such a way that there is enough space for sitting, dancing and moving around.
