Choosing The
Best Sites For Your Wedding and Reception
by: Rose Lenk
The perfect
wedding day has been pictured in your mind and dreams almost
your entire lifetime. If you're like most, you may already have
a vivid picture of how you want your wedding and reception to
look even down to the last detail such as which flowers are
going to be included in your flower arrangements and decor. But
did your daydreams and imaginings include where you want to the
sacred event to take place and where you are going to celebrate
your union with family and friends?
If not, there
are a few things to keep in mind when selecting the perfect spot
to hold your wedding and reception: budget, amount of guests,
theme and type of wedding, and whether or not you want your
ceremony and reception at the same location.
Let's start
with the budget first. By keeping in mind your budget throughout
the whole decision making process, you can prevent heartache in
the end. Suppose you found the perfect dream wedding spot only
to learn that you could not possibly afford to hold your wedding
there? Likely if you chose to have your ceremony in any other
spot it would pale in comparison and be a disappointment when
compared with the one you couldn't swing.
On the other
hand, what if you threw caution to the wind and indulged in the
more expensive site? In this case, you might become bitter about
your wedding day when the bills start to pile up or when you
have to forgo your honeymoon to cover the costs. These two
scenarios illustrate why it is very important to evaluate the
cost before investigating any particular wedding or reception
site. If it's over your budget, don't even look at it.
Your theme
and type of wedding are also very important when choosing the
perfect spot for your wedding nuptials. If you are having an
informal country wedding, it would not make much sense to book
an elaborate reception hall. A better choice may be to have an
outdoor reception on a farm complete with a bonfire, country
band, and wagon rides for the little ones.
If you're
just looking for a little inspiration and a list of great
wedding sites to investigate, your local chamber of commerce can
supply you with sites, historical and modern, that can be rented
for functions such as weddings. This may be a great help when
you're trying to find a spot for your wedding that is unique and
truly reflects your personality.
Remember,
it's your wedding and your dreams. Do not give in to family
pressure or be tempted to take the first place that comes along.
Do your homework and you will be guaranteed to realize the
wedding of your dreams.
