Finding the perfect wedding venue takes patience, dedication, and luck, but the results are worth it if you manage to book the right location. Whether you already have a spot in mind or you don’t even know where to begin looking, keep these qualities in mind while performing your search.

What To Look For In The Perfect Wedding Venue

1. Accessibility

Many couples chose to have a complete wedding in one location for the convenience of friends and family. The venue should at least be able to accommodate both the ceremony and reception, but some sites can also provide lodging for out-of-town guests. This makes it easy for family members to gather before, during, and after the wedding. It also makes it less stressful for older, disabled, and directions-challenged family members who might have trouble traveling to and from each event in separate locations. It also prevents traffic from preventing guests from making it to the service on time.

2. On-Site Catering

Some wedding venues also offer on-site catering for events, and let’s face it. Planning a wedding can be demanding and frustrating, so having one less thing to coordinate is ideal. Working with the venue’s caterer makes it easier for you to make decisions about the menu in plenty of time to accommodate food allergies and special diets. The staff and kitchen are also on-site and can make last-minute changes quickly if needed, allowing your special day to do as smoothly as possible.

3. Size

Are you having a small or large wedding? Wedding venues should be large enough to comfortably accommodate every guest on your invite list, plus wait staff, clergy, and unexpected visitors. Outdoor sites are popular because they give your guests room to move around freely. However, choosing a large site for a small wedding can result in awkward wedding photos. 

Wedding planning can be stressful, but having everything in one place alleviates stress so you can enjoy your special day.
