Happy #WeddingWednesday loves!
Alright, we have discussed the importance of a wedding budget, why you REALLY need a Wedding Planner, and How to create a Wedding Theme.
Today, let’s talk venue! Here in Chicago, there are SO MANY beautiful and different venues that can accomodate your specific needs, and I want to give you some tips on choosing the best one for your Wedding Day!
1. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!! Now this may seem like an obvious one, however, you’d be surprised at how many couples don’t take this into account. I get it, it’s “your” day, but you do need to make sure that your guests are going to be comfortable as well. For example:
Are you inviting elderly or handicapped guests? You may want to make sure your venue is accessible to them.
How’s the parking? If the venue doesn’t have a private parking lot, do they have easily accessible street parking or do they offer valet parking to their guests?
2. COST. I’m sure you have had your heart set on that one specific venue since the day you met your soulmate, and now that you’ve said yes, you can’t wait to host your dream wedding to your dream man in your dream venue.
Have you factored in all of the costs associated- Site Fee, Rentals, Valet, Staffing, etc. are some additional fees that brides and grooms don’t think about when looking into venues.
3. PREFERRED VENDOR LIST. Some venues have a preferred list of professionals they only work with, and you must choose from that list and only that list. This can be a great thing, unless you had your heart set on using a particular vendor, so double check before you start committing to other vendor services.
Now that I’ve given you a few things to think about, and you want to know more, reach out today and let’s chat! As always, don’t forget to like, comment and share this post with your friends and family, because FRIENDS DON’T LET FRIENDS HAVE HORRIBLE WEDDINGS!
Over the next few weeks, I’ll give you some helpful tips on asking the right questions before you hire your vendors. Next week, we’ll start with Caterers!!
Until Next Week,
XOXO, Amber
