Most of our fairy tales began with “Once upon a time, in a land far far away”… and then our imagination would paint that picture for us. A good background setting is as vital as the characters in any story. It’s now time to write your fairytale and choosing the perfect venue is of utmost importance. One of the hardest decisions to make as you plan your wedding is to finalize the venue. To aid you in this decision, here are five major factors that cover a series of pointers to consider while choosing your wedding venue.

The Earlier the Better

This point cannot be stressed enough. Being the best wedding venue in Bangalore, we can tell you that we take bookings 24 months in advance. The average booking time is 12 months before a wedding, and auspicious days are always the most crucial. In case you are sure of the venue but still need some time to decide the dates, you could pay a token advance and block the dates you have your mindset at so that the venue holds these dates and you get more time to decide.

Make A List Of Your Wedding Details

Knowing the finer details of your wedding is essential to determine the kind of venue needed. The number of events and the count of people attending it, the timing of these events, and the basic theme of each are some of the few things that you need to know. If you have different events with different themes planned, consider a venue with multiple spaces or something that can be transformed with décor (remember that this comes with a price, though).

Rules and Contract

Every organization works with certain rules and regulations and understanding the ones of your wedding resort is key to the smooth transition of the event. If your wedding is in the early hours of the morning or you want to continue through the late hours of the night, run this by the venue to see if they are okay with it. Many venues present in residential areas are bound to have sound restrictions for obvious reasons.

Signing a contract with the venue with all the deliverables stated clearly will leave you at peace through the wedding, so take your time and read through these and clarify all doubts. Though cancellation and postponement are not something you hope for, it is better to be aware of the venue policies.

Accommodation Transportation and Logistics

How your guests will get to the event, where they will stay, and how feasible the venue is for all the service providers needed to create your dream wedding are three main questions that come under this factor. Remember to always have space for more to accommodate last-minute changes.

Team and Venue Staff

You could have spent a year planning the event with your family and a planner, but the people who will save the day need be, will be the people who work at the venue. They will be the first point of contact for you when you arrive or for your guests in case, they need something. This factor is often overlooked by many but having a team with the experience to support you and your family on a day as important as this is indispensable.
