What You Need To Know When Choosing A Wedding Venue?

One of the most important steps in organising a wedding, alongside picking the happy couple's future spouse, is picking the location.

How exciting that you're engaged! You should take a time to enjoy the present before worrying about things like scheduling meetings, compulsively updating your Pinterest boards, or selecting personalised party favours.

We love this time of year at Cedarmont! "It's the "engagement " season!" In addition, this will result in many public displays and tours of our facility. We enjoy talking to all the newly engaged couples and learning about their proposals and wedding preparations.

While the evenings become noticeably cooler, the days are usually wonderfully sunny; some leaves begin to change colour; and the environment is still extremely green.

It might be difficult to find the perfect wedding venue from all the options available. Luckily, we've compiled a list of our top suggestions for how to go about booking the perfect wedding location.

When it comes to your special day, Boutique events group has proven itself to be an iconic wedding venue and function centre in Melbourne

Spend some time at The Cottage Wedding Venue in Gilbert, Arizona, to rejoice in your recent engagement. We recognise the significance of you and your loved one maturing your relationship. This achievement, by itself, merits a party. So let's get this celebration started.

One of the best parts of our job (along with the challenges we face, which we LOVE!) is helping our clients realise their ideal wedding day. There's a wide variety of rural and urban settings, and much more in between, in Nashville.

Even though they were all held so close together, it was interesting to see how other couples interpreted the season in their nuptials.

Are You Looking For The Perfect Wedding Venue?

Determine A Reasonable Budget

You should prioritise setting a reasonable budget for the venue.

Make sure you know exactly what you need to cover when establishing this budget for the venue. There are a variety of factors that can affect the total cost of a venue, such as whether or not food and drink are included.

Engagement Party

Some couples have well-meaning friends and family members who offer to host the party on their behalf, while others opt to organise it themselves. Both interpretations are valid. Here are some pointers for those in charge:

Finding a venue that complements your aesthetic is crucial, but there are a few other questions you should be considering as well.

The sunny disposition of the day plus the fact that sunflowers are the bride's favourite flower and the state flower of Kansas made them the ideal choice for decorating the venue.

The sites that are too expensive will be eliminated from consideration once a budget has been set. Visits to locations outside of reasonable financial constraints should be avoided.

Get started by selecting a day that is not too far off in the future. We suggest choosing a date no more than three months after the proposal is made. Make a point to work around the schedules of those who matter the most to you.

Are You Covered By Liability Insurance? ​​

You don't want the blame if drunk Uncle Joe harms himself on the dance floor. For your own peace of mind, it is strongly recommended that you obtain the day-of insurance that is required by many venues for the bride.

Sara looked breathtaking in her magnificent champagne gown and cathedral-length veil, and Viktor looked dashing in his navy blue suit and bowtie. The bride and groom's grins were the most memorable details of the day since their love for one another shone through in them.

Select Your Desired Style

Spend some time with your future spouse deciding on a theme for the wedding.

A castle or grand hall can be the ideal venue if you're after a touch of class and antiquity. A barn wedding is a great option for those who want a more bohemian, rustic look for their big day.

Then, make a list of those who have been there for you both and your partnership throughout the good times and the bad. It's best to keep the number of invited guests limited, and to prioritise asking individuals on the list to be in the wedding party.

We highly recommend The Event Helper, but it's also important to make sure your venue, as well as any outside caterers or bartending services, have their own insurance. Cedarmont requires all of our outside contractors to carry liability insurance and maintains its own policy in case of any claims.

They had a German meal (Viktor's homeland), bubbles for their entry and first dance, and a welcome table with photos from their time together for their spring wedding. One of Sara's closest relatives (Pure in Art Photography) made the trip from Kansas to photograph the amazing photos below.

The options for wedding locations in the modern day are practically limitless. This gives the couple a lot of leeway in terms of their individual tastes and preferences while they search for a suitable dwelling.

After your list is refined, you should establish a sensible spending limit and stick to it. The emphasis of this gathering, whether casual or formal, should be on spending quality time with one another. Now that you have a date range in mind and an approximate budget, it's time to choose a location.

Do You Have A Charge For Outside Vendors? 

How do external vendors get their applications approved? Many event spaces only provide all-inclusive packages and require a "buy out fee" if you want to bring in outside caterers or DJs. So, if your friend is a caterer and she's offering you a 50% discount, you might want to double check with the venue to make sure she can do your wedding.

Please take your time browsing the images below, and we defy you not to crack a smile. Sara and Viktor's happiness is contagious.

Make Use Of The Internet

The internet has made it possible to scout out multiple potential wedding locations in advance. Online services account for 83 percent of all wedding preparations.

Think about whether an indoor or outdoor setting would be preferable. Is there a particular mood or tone you're hoping to achieve? Choosing the correct location for your event is critical to making it a success. Think about whether or not you'd like to hire the venue's in-house caterer or if you'd prefer to bring your own food.

Some event spaces will allow outside vendors after paying a "buy out fee," and others will only work with vendors who have been vetted in advance. Talk about the approval procedure in advance so everyone knows what standards the outside vendors must follow.

The majority of newlyweds report that their wedding day flew by in a blur. Check out our extensive list of Wedding Celebrants to help you tie the knot. 

The urge to make conversation with everyone is amplified when you're at a wedding and meeting people for the first time from your new spouse's family.

Visitors to a wedding venue's website can find practically any information or answer they could ever need these days. Searching for a wedding venue has never been less of a hassle than it is now, thanks to email communication, thorough websites, glowing reviews, and even virtual tours.

Toasts, speeches, music, and party games are all great options for the final part of the agenda. Whatever you do, you should make sure that you and your loved one are the focal point of the celebration.

Cedarmont has both all-inclusive and venue-only packages, giving you the freedom to select your own providers without breaking the bank.

Then there are the numerous enjoyable activities, like taking pictures, eating cake, dancing, and more, that must be crammed into a brief time frame. The farewell will quickly approach, and then it will be too late. It's already evening; where did the day go?

Determine Your Top Priority

Ask yourself what you value most in a venue before you start looking at others.

Space may be the most pressing issue for a bride and groom who invite many people to their wedding. On the other side, a bride and groom who prefer the outdoors over any indoor setting may place a premium on having plenty of greenery and outdoor space.

The pre-party is an opportunity to let loose before the real party begins. What this means to one couple may seem like to another may be a room full of flashing lights, a DJ playing ear-splitting music, and a bar open all night. For others, it could be an intimate evening of spa treatments, fine dining, and fireside relaxation.

 Is Alcohol Included In My Package? 

There are a lot of places that offer bartending services but don't provide alcohol. The provision of alcoholic beverages requires venues to hold a liquor licence and host liquor insurance.

Evaluate The Logistics

Whether or if a wedding venue is picturesque and lovely is not necessarily a deciding factor.

Instead, it is crucial to think about how to make use of the area. As an example, you should check that the venue is accessible and accommodating in case any of your visitors has special needs or a disability.

We advise the host to take a peek at the preceding weekend. There is nothing worse than showing up to your wedding day with a hangover, an unexpected injury, or clouded mental faculties. Once you've decided on a date, it's time to start thinking about who you want there to help make the celebration special and unforgettable for the happy couple.

Do You Have Any Restrictions On The Style Of Decor? Sparklers, Candles, And So On?

Safety and cleanliness concerns often lead venues to prohibit certain types of decorations. Real candles, confetti, and sparklers are frequently forbidden. As long as they are in an appropriate container, candles are welcome at Cedarmont. Sparklers are permitted, but paper confetti is not (have you ever attempted to sweep confetti out of grass?). It's a tonne of fun.)

There are many benefits to sharing a romantic supper with your partner every night, including the chance to reflect on the day and strengthen your relationship. Food is usually one of the main attractions at a wedding, and it's probable that you spent a big chunk of your cash on it. But We can't tell you how many newlyweds, like myself, hardly touched it at the reception.

Food engages four of the five senses—sight, smell, touch, and taste—which are all essential to the process of creating long-lasting memories.

Make sure there are enough restrooms for everyone on your guest list. A single bathroom is probably not going to cut it for a wedding with a lot of guests.

Always consult the spouse to find out if the activities are within their comfort zone. It's vital to have a frank discussion so that no one's feelings are hurt or their boundaries are violated. You don't want the get-together to fizzle out because of a misunderstanding about what will happen there.

Does Gratuity Apply? Are There Any Additional Fees I Need To Be Aware Of?

Wedding costs can be daunting on their own. Before the final bill arrives from the venue, be sure you know what to expect. When it comes to things like sales tax and tipping, venues might be very diverse from one another. In many cases, the tax on the sale is not included. Gift wrapping is free at Cedarmont, however sales tax is added on.

Even though your voice is already starting to give out, it's worth it to catch up with your partner on the day's events. In this section, you and your new spouse can reminisce about your favourite parts of the ceremony and how you felt when you first laid eyes on one other. In your newlywed bliss, how did you feel as you made your way down the aisle?

Think About The Accommodation

Do you anticipate having a large number of guests that will need lodging on your special day?

If that's the case, you should look into lodging options in the area right once. Remember that some locations may not have enough space or amenities to host even a single guest.

Dinner For Wedding Rehearsal

Rehearsal dinners are held so that the couple may finalise all of the arrangements for the big day. In order to ensure that everything goes smoothly, it's important to go over the logistics of the ceremony and reception, including the order of events, the seating arrangement, and the roles that each guest will play. When things have settled down, you may all sit down to lunch together. We have compiled a list of our top Wedding Celebrants to help you celebrate your special day.

What Is The Location Of Your Backup Ceremony In The Event Of Rain (For Outdoor Ceremonies)?

Free services are always well received. Imagine your wedding taking place on a beautiful sunny day with a gentle wind; it will do your spirits good. Yet, rain is inevitable.

That takes care of the fifth sense (hearing), and doing so again so soon after the event notifies your brain that it is significant enough to be stored away permanently.

Get a price quote for the lodging you're considering. You may be willing to spend a lot of money on a fancy location, but you should still think about whether or not your guests can afford the lodging.

Now is also a good time to find out if the venue has any partnerships with local lodging options like hotels and B&Bs.

Preparing and paying for this function the night before the wedding was traditionally the responsibility of the groom's parents. In the past, there would be a formal dinner with a fixed menu, speeches, and toasts. Modern agendas tend to be less formal and more free-form. Some married couples use it as a formal launch party. In the end, you should follow your own internal moral compass.

Make sure you're comfortable with the venue's rain plan. Know what to do in the event of rain, whether that's finding a dry inside spot or simply carrying umbrellas and a positive mindset. In the event of inclement weather, the reception barn can be used for the ceremony, and the covered porch or lobby can be used for the cocktail hour while your space is transformed into the reception hall.

Since you may not have the chance to spend any quality time together until the wedding is finished, make the most of your first few minutes as husband and wife. Your new husband is probably wearing some sort of cologne or perfume, and if you take a moment to smell it when you embrace, the scent can take you back to that particular moment.

Ask About The Rules

Every wedding location has its own special protocols that the happy couple and their guests must follow.

Some event spaces, for instance, might not allow you to bring in your own décor or food. Your wedding's table settings and catering will have to be taken care of by the venue.

Be sure to find a location that gives you leeway in the choices you make for decorations and the utilisation of outside vendors.

 Perfect Party Packages:

Use the Evening Party Package at The Cottage Wedding Venues for all your pre-party needs. Package prices are valid for events beginning after 4 p.m. The pricing includes one hour of decorating time and three hours of event time in our newly renovated ballroom. The meal features a lavish brunch and lunch buffet.

What Happens When My Reception Is Over And The Cleanup Begins?

To what time must your bar be closed? When do you ask visitors to depart? When you say "venue time," how much of that is spent cleaning up after events? Packages may advertise something like "10 hours of venue time," but fail to specify that one hour will be deducted from this total for event breakdown.

To remember something, it's helpful to imagine the experience as similar to that of meticulously wrapping a priceless present by noting every detail about the object being remembered. The more you "wrap" your memory in these various techniques, the better it will be kept when you "unwrap" it in the future.

Get Information Ahead Of Time

Wedding location scouting can leave you feeling exhausted.

After spending so much time and effort sampling numerous venues, it's natural to feel worn out and overwhelmed by the task of making a final pick.

Guests can select from three main courses and two sides, and they will also be treated to fresh-baked bread, a dessert bar, and water and lemonade from self-service dispensers. We provide a coordinator, white chairs,  whitewashed farm tables, and a table runner at our site (of your choice).

Does your team pack up all of the holiday decorations? How soon do you need your decorative things back if you brought them? Some weekend locations host many events and so have stringent restrictions about when things need to be broken down and collected up.

Have a box of tissues ready, whether or not you typically cry at weddings. There were several touching moments that made us hold back tears of joy, like the bride's parents' tearful first glance at their beautiful daughter, the bride's father's touching speech, and the groom's heartfelt toast.

Avoid exhaustion by gathering as much information as possible about the location before going there for a preview. The abundance of data at your disposal here will help you decide whether or not to proceed with a tour reservation.

Make sure you understand who is accountable for the cleanup and what that entails, particularly if you are not booking an all-inclusive package (chairs stacked? linens removed from tables?). There is a four-hour limit on the open bar at Cedarmont, thus it is customary to close it 45 minutes before guests leave.

On top of everything, the 250 guests brought their own brand of infectious happiness, to the point that we  worried the 12 acres of Garden Grove wouldn't be enough to hold everyone and everything. Of course, if it weren't for the tremendously creative people at Feather & Twine, we wouldn't be able to show you any of this splendour.

Consider The Location And Transit

Your guests may not be eager to travel as far as you are for your wedding, but their comfort should be a top priority.

Is it easy to get to the event location? Can the vast majority of your invitees reasonably expect to drive to the site? Can I take the bus/train/etc. When deciding on the best location, you should think about all of these factors. See our list of Melbourne Wedding Celebrants to help you make an informed decision when saying your vows. 

To give us an hour to tidy things after everyone leaves, we ask that you go no later than 11 p.m. Our packages include cleanup, and if you don't want to take your decorations home with you that night, our team will assemble them and schedule a time for you to pick them up.

Over 200 guests were transported to and from St. Mary Cathedral in downtown Austin in vintage Bentleys provided by Sherpa Lux, and the day was orchestrated by 36th Street Events with the help of an army of outstanding vendors including Sweetwater Stems, who designed the breathtaking florals, and the Memphis Train Revue band, who kept the party going all night long.

Make sure you find out the parking policies and whether there is any visitor parking available. Make sure you know how many cars can fit in the parking lot, if visitors may leave their cars there overnight, and if there is a taxi or shuttle service.

How Many "Wedding Planning" Meetings Are Included In The Package? Does Unlimited Phone And Email Help Exist?

Wedding planning and styling services are often included at all-inclusive locations. Examine the specifics, such as the number of scheduled in-person meetings.

Katie did a fantastic job with the hair and cosmetics for her bridal party at Gabby and Kiss, and the cake from Lady Quakenbush's Cakery was as delicious as it was gorgeous.

We had a great time taking these pictures, and We think you will, too.

Determine What’s Included With The Venue

As a final step, you must find out what amenities are and are not provided by the venue.

There may be a vast list of amenities that come standard at some sites. Everything from seating arrangements to a fully stocked kitchen and wait staff is fair game. Alternatively, some locations may only provide a base fee for the location and force the bride and groom to shell out further money for accessories.

When you have questions or concerns, will your planner be easy to contact by phone or email? Inquire about their stance on the use of outside planners if such services are not included. Even if they don't offer them in-house, many venues will still let you bring in an outside planner, albeit you may have to use someone from their approved list.

There is one picture that has become a staple at weddings over the past five years: the bride's dress hanging on a hanger. The legendary tradition of taking wedding photos in front of a white backdrop has spread from the bridal suite closet to picturesque indoor and outdoor locations, resulting in stunning and one-of-a-kind photographs.

Selecting The Perfect Wedding Venue For You

Planning a wedding can be a time-consuming, stressful ordeal.

Even if the air is still thick with engagement joy, it's normal for engaged couples to feel some pressure from all the preparations that need to be made. After all, it's not always simple to select a wedding venue that works for the couple in terms of cost, taste, and desires.

There will be three scheduled in-person meetings in addition to limitless follow-up by phone or email. We welcome the assistance of outside event organisers and stylists.

But if the bride is going to be photographed all day in the dress, there's no point in having a model wear it for photos. No matter which bride or photographer you ask, you'll get a different answer. There are no right answers, of course. The gown stands empty as a symbol of eagerness.

Here are five things to keep in mind when you search for a wedding location to reduce your anxiety. We have faith that this will assist you in locating the ideal venue for your wedding.

At What Time May Vendors Begin Settling In? When Should The Bride's Group Arrive?

Cleanup and set-up time are usually included in the total rental period for a venue. Check that your planned schedule will accommodate the needs of the venue. Make sure your wedding location allows for more than a couple hours of pre-wedding time if you want to have a full morning to get ready and hang out with the gals before photographs.

The stillness of the dress before the bride brings it to life symbolises the quiet before the storm of the wedding day. Getting dressed is the last step before she begins the new chapter of her life, which has taken months, if not years, of planning and preparation. We can't imagine a more fitting way to forever remember the dress she spent so much time saving for and looking for, as well as the joy, love, and promise that filled the air in the moments before she said, "I do."

Conclusion

Cedarmont has long been recognised as Melbourne's preeminent wedding and event location. Nashville is home to a diverse range of environments, from the rural to the metropolitan and everywhere in between. We highly recommend Gilbert, Arizona's The Cottage Wedding Venue for any couple planning an outdoor ceremony and reception. They entered and danced in bubbles, and sunflowers were among the decorations for their German-themed party. Cedarmont suggests accommodating the timetables of individuals who are most important to you.

Whether it's a formal or informal get-together, talking to one another and enjoying one other's company should be top priority. There are event locations that only provide all-inclusive packages and charge a "buy out fee" for the privilege of bringing in one's own food and drink. About 83% of newlyweds use some form of online service to organise their big day. At Cedarmont, you can choose between all-inclusive and venue-only options, allowing you more flexibility in choosing your service providers. A chance to loosen up before the real party starts can be found at the pre-party.

Think about how guests with disabilities or special needs will be accommodated at the site. It's time to start thinking about who you want there once you've settled on a date. Places often restrict decorations because they worry about safety and hygiene. The better half should always be consulted before doing any out-of-the-ordinary plans. The purpose of the rehearsal dinner is to help the bride and groom work out any last minute details before the wedding.

Planning the logistics of the ceremony and reception, such as where people will sit and what they will be doing, is essential. Think about whether or not your venue has arrangements with hotels and inns in the area. Check that the venue's rain plan meets your needs. Prepare for the possibility of rain by having an umbrella handy or a dry indoor meeting place in mind. Find out whether there are any traditions the newlyweds and their guests are expected to follow at the ceremony and reception sites.

The search for the perfect wedding venue can be exhausting. Learn as much as you can about the venue before coming to check it out for a preview. Cedarmont's open bar policy lasts for only four hours. There are early morning hours at some weekend destinations where everything must be dismantled. Celebrants in Melbourne can help you choose the perfect venue for your big day.

Think about the parking policies and if there is any guest parking accessible. Discover which services are included in the package and which are not provided by the venue. You can often still utilise an outside planner at many locations, albeit they may need you to hire from their prefered vendors. If event planning is not part of the package, make sure you know how they feel about hiring an outside firm. After all, finding a suitable wedding location isn't always easy.

The calm before the tempest of the wedding day is symbolised by the stillness of the dress before the bride brings it to life. Make sure the venue you choose has time for more than just the ceremony and the reception. The overall rental duration for a venue typically includes time for set-up and cleanup.
