When should a couple start looking at Wedding Venues?
The answer to this question is simple - right after you have finalized your wedding date. Choosing your wedding venue is the most important decision when you are planning your wedding. This decision will also have a major impact on your wedding budget. Looking for the ideal wedding venue should be on the top of your wedding planning checklist. Here are all the reasons why booking a wedding venue on priority is important -
The most popular wedding venues are usually already booked by other couples 6-8 months in advance. If you are planning to get married on a Saaya date, you must book the wedding venue as soon as possible to ensure the venue is available for your wedding event.
Booking the wedding venue is a huge expenditure from your wedding budget. The wedding venue cost will also depend on the no. of booking days, accommodation requirements, date/season of the wedding, and other services you book from the venue.
Most top-rated wedding venues in India offer excellent catering services. However, many couples try to explore other catering services to host a royal feast at their wedding. Booking the wedding venue 6-8 months prior to your wedding date allows you more time to find the right caterers for your wedding party. Knowing the location of your wedding venue when you talk to the wedding vendors, will also help other wedding vendors decide if they can travel to your best wedding venue in time.
This is also crucial when you are planning a destination wedding. Booking the venue plays a very important role in a destination wedding. Your entire wedding theme revolves around the aesthetics or location of the venue and your wedding designer takes some of the most important decisions on the basis of that. This also helps you determine the final no. of guests at your wedding, because guests usually take the decision depending on their possibility to travel to the destination wedding venue.
How to find an ideal Wedding Venue for your wedding functions?
Finding the right wedding venue is so important to make your wedding dreams come true. But when you have a wedding theme and a beautiful wedding picturized, finding that perfect wedding venue is one of the most daunting tasks. When you begin your wedding venue booking and planning journey, you must keep in mind that finding the ideal wedding venue is not just about how the property looks. There is a no. of factors that help determine the ideal wedding venue for your celebrations. Here’s a list that can help you choose the perfect wedding venue -
Bring the families together and choose your wedding date first. If there’s a possibility, shortlist more than one possible date for your wedding. This helps you to have flexible discussions with the wedding venue and other wedding vendors of your choice.
The next step is to finalize your wedding budget. You might have shortlisted some wedding venues in the past, but it’s important and very realistic to crosscheck the venue pricing and ensure that it fits into your wedding budget. Do not go overboard if your pocket doesn’t allow it, because there are several other important expenditures associated with a wedding.
Did you finalize your wedding guest list yet? The wedding venue you have been eyeing must be able to accommodate your entire guest list. Make sure you finalize an approximate guest list no. before you go wedding venue hunting!
Decide the time of your wedding because that also plays a crucial role in choosing the venue. For eg - If you are planning a day wedding in the winter season, you can choose a wedding resort or an open-air wedding lawn for your wedding rituals. If you are planning a night event during the winters, it’s better to plan it indoors in a premium hotel or wedding banquet halls.
Do you have a wedding theme in mind? Couples who have a certain wedding theme in mind, usually find it difficult to shortlist the ideal wedding venue. Finalize your theme with your partner first and then shortlist wedding venues that help create the wedding theme you want. For eg - If you want to plan a royal palatial wedding, shortlist forts and palaces in India that are available to host wedding celebrations.
