Wedding Reception and Services.

Arguably the decision on where you decide to hold your wedding reception will have a strong bearing on how successful your wedding day will be.  So, choosing the best location and venue for your budget is crucial if your wedding day is to run smoothly. 

You need to think a little bit outside the box.  So, as well as making sure all your guests can easily be accommodated, and that drinks are readily available when they arrive, you also need to think about

how your wedding reception is going to pan out throughout the day.  The wedding reception venue that you choose is where most of the days festivities will occur, so your first question should be, is the venue going to be big enough to cater for all my guests?  Will it be  able to accommodate the extra space needed for eating, dancing and socialising, together with other events  you hadn’t taken into consideration, like the cutting of the cake and of course the throwing of your wedding bouquet?

With this in mind, it’s little wonder then that many couples choose hotels or function halls for their wedding reception venue due to everything they need is provided in order to make their wedding day run like clockwork.  Also, it’s not uncommon for these types of venues to offer a wedding reception and services coordinator, thereby ensuring everything runs on time.  Personally, and I speak from experience here, I would certainly ensure you enlist the services of a wedding co-ordinator who will work with you and meet every need. What’s more the great thing about having your wedding reception venue held at a hotel is that overnight accommodation doesn’t require any extra planning.

Booking your wedding reception location as early as possible is highly advisable, especially if your big day is going to be in peak season and you need to cater for a lot of guests.  Although at this stage you will not need a firm head count, you will need a pretty close estimate.  Just like your wedding, you will also, need to determine your wedding reception budget, as this will likely have an impact on your wedding reception options. If you’re limited in funds, then you may want to consider organising your wedding off-season.  This will generally mean

that rates will be much lower.  In order for you to reserve the wedding reception facility of your choice, you will be required to make a down payment in order to reserve your big day.  This payment is typically non-refundable, so make sure you’re absolutely certain that the wedding reception and services are exactly as you need.  Also, you'll want to make sure you understand the venues small print regarding cancellation, as it may involve more than losing your deposit…
