SEARCHING FOR THE ONE There are so many venues to choose from. How do we decide which one is right for us? Whether you’re newly engaged or just starting to plan your wedding – congratulations! It’s not an easy task deciding on a wedding venue, and there’s lots to consider. Here are some tips on how to decide which venue is right for you: Budget – Make sure the venues you’re looking at cater to your budget. You don’t want to be fall in love with something fantastic and it turns out to be totally out of your price range! Location – Your big day is about you, but you want your nearest and dearest to celebrate with you too, so keep in mind the location and make sure it’s accessible for those who you love dearly. Capacity – If you have a big family and lots of friends, make sure the venues you’re searching for can accommodate your wedding party. Does it suit you both? Organising a wedding that shows off both your personalities will make the best photographs and ensure your guests have a great day. The whole package – Make sure you know what is included in the price, and what you are getting for your money. Some venues may charge extra for furniture such as tables and chairs or little things that will soon add up, like chair covers and sashes.

What should we ask the wedding team before booking? What a fabulous time for a wedding! Spirits are high, venues are looking extra glamorous, and you may even get a touch of snow – it’s an excellent season to book. If you can, make time to visit some venues the Christmas or two before your ideal date, so you can get a feel for the atmosphere in person. If you have to look out of season, make sure you ask to see photos or videos of how the venue is decorated during the festive season. Once you’ve done this, ask your venue the following questions: What colour theme do they stick to, so you can ensure your own decorations tie in nicely with theirs? Is the menu affected by Christmas? For example, sweet treats are often switched from things like Welsh cakes to mince pies. A practical question that will really impact the quality of your day is how do they heat the venue when the temperature drops? Lastly, ask your planner to share stories from previous couples’ Christmas weddings. They should be brimming with ideas and have lots of creative solutions to help you achieve the day of your dreams.
