One important tip of wedding planning is to always finalise your wedding reception venue early. Reception venues are limited and if your wedding date falls on an auspicious date, you can be sure that popular venues are going to be snapped up very quickly. Don’t be surprised that some venues might even be booked as early as one year before!
Often, newly engaged couples tend to think that time is on their side and leave the venue planning a little too late. Then they start to panic when the venue they wanted has been booked or they are unable to find a suitable venue for their planned wedding date.
So if you are a newly engaged bridal couple, look below for some tips in securing your wedding venue early!
Number of Guests
- How many guests are you both planning to have at your wedding?
- Get a general idea of your guest list before you look for your venue as some wedding reception venues may not be able to accommodate large number of guests.
Wedding Reception
- What type of wedding reception are you thinking of?
- A romantic one with lots of flowers? A wild party? Or simply a quiet and formal sit-down?
- Knowing the type of wedding reception you want will make it easier to find your venue.
Lookout for blackout dates
- It always pays to do some research to ensure that your chosen date doesn’t fall on hotel blackout dates. Some dates in a year may be reserved by the hotel for conferences or functions.
- Do look out for popular dates and public holidays as hotels may choose to charge more on these days.
Research, research, research
- Again, never underestimate the power of research!
- Take time off to visit many reception venues to get a good idea of what is being offered and whether it suits your dream wedding reception.
- Meet up with wedding consultants from hotels or halls to discuss your ideas and see how flexible they are in accommodating them.
Time is on your side so take full advantage of it to look for the ideal wedding reception venue. Early planning will help you get the venue you want and secure the first step towards making your dream wedding a reality!
