Wedding receptions are a great opportunity for
friends and family to come together to celebrate. However with the average
wedding costing £15,000 couples can feel the pressure to get everything right.
After the dress, where to host
the wedding reception is probably the most agonised over decision. Finding a
venue which can cater to the wedding party’s needs and help create the dream
wedding is essential. For many a bride
and groom the wedding reception is the time when they start to relax; the
nerves and jitters of the ceremony and speeches behind them.
When choosing a venue to host a
wedding reception there’s a wide choice; everywhere from pubs to hotels to
castles are available to hire. Before choosing, the bride and groom should
consider whether the space available will work for their party; too large and
the reception will feel empty; too small and guests will feel overcrowded and
cramped.
For many the main consideration
when choosing their wedding venue is costs. The price to host a wedding
reception can vary wildly from venue to venue, though many places offer an
‘all-in’ package deal which includes catering, evening entertainment (such as
disco) and bar staff included. For places which don’t have package deals, the bride
and groom should be sure they know exactly what is included and the associated
costs with any extras.
For some a deciding factor when
choosing a venue is the location itself; beautifully manicured lawns and
borders create a stunning background for wedding photos and help create
cherished memories. For this reason many couples choose locations such as
country houses, stately homes or other grand buildings to host their wedding.
The bride and groom may also want
to consider whether their chosen venue offers accommodation; some guests may
have travelled to attend the wedding and therefore need somewhere to stay
overnight.
