Have To Find A Wedding Reception Room Now - Help!
By Advisor. Filed in Disney Hotel |
You’ve set the date that you are to be married. So what comes next? More than likely, you now have to find a venue where you’ll have your wedding reception. Other than the ceremony, this is the highlight of your day and what your guests usually remember about the wedding. Knowing this, you’re on the hunt for the best wedding reception venue for the price. But what do I need to know before we sign on the dotted line? Actually, you might want to think through other things as well, even down to the littlest things like wedding favours.
First thing is finding a place that you love on the date that you have your heart set on to get married. If your first choice is booked, then you’ve to make a decision; do we go to our second choice or change our date?
After you pass the ‘is this date available’ hurdle, there are lots of questions to ask beyond that. Are they able to accommodate your wedding ceremony as well? If they have a chapel, how many will it seat? If there ceremony venue is not on the same property, how far is it from the reception? How many automobiles can it fit in the lot? Your important ceremony questions are now covered. But what are the important things I need to know about the reception itself? Finding edible wedding favors have nothing to do with finding a great venue, but can help decide which way you’re going to go whether formal or more traditional.
There are several important questions when it comes to deciding on a wedding reception venue. For example, how many tables can the room fit and how many guests per table? What is the number of guests the room will fit if I have a buffet dinner vs. a formal dinner? Do you have more than one reception happening at the same time? If so, how many wedding coordinators do you have? Do they have a great area to set up your guest’s thank you gifts; your one-of-a-kind wedding favors
And don’t forget to ask questions about the food. Do you do your own catering? Can I bring in my own caterer? If not, how much per person do they charge and what exactly does it include? (Don’t forget to add tax and tip). Also, are there are discounts for getting married on holidays such as Labor Day, Columbus Day or July 4th? Is the cocktail hour in another room? If so, how many guests can it hold?
Now that the beginning of your wedding is taken care of, what about asking questions regarding the rest of the day? How large is the dance floor? Can it fit a band or just a DJ? Can the wedding run later if desired on that day?
Lastly, what are the restrictions with the wedding venue? And if there are any restrictions to using certain rooms, does the bride and groom as well as the bridal party have an area that’s just for them?
There are so many more questions. But this is a start. If you can get answers to all of the above and you love the place and can afford it, then go for it. Word of caution; don’t wait too long when making up your mind about a venue. If you love it, then book it. Most people nowadays, book up to 18 months in advance. Hopefully you will find the perfect venue for your perfect day.
