By Gwen Lowe


May be you just got engaged and the excitement cannot let you wait to book your wedding venue. However, before you go dashing looking for wedding venues that are nearby, there are some facts that you need to have in mind. These will help you choose ideal Austin Texas wedding venues for your biggest day ever.

The expected number of guests is very important and should be your first consideration. You do not want a venue that is too small for your guests. At the same time, you should not choose a venue that is too big for your visitors. It will be costly on you for nothing and will also make your nuptial to appear poorly attended. Other than the number of guests, accessibility also matters. Consider making a few sacrifices here and there in order to make it easy for your guests to attend the function.

Also very important are the staff and services. A professional and accommodating venue staff will go a long way in taking stress out of your wedding day. In most instances, venues with designated managers are always the best as they provide all kinds of helpful services. With such a venue, you will also have a contact person to answer your questions during planning process.

Your budget is another factor that should dictate the venue you choose. Unless you can find a good free venue around, you will be forced to part with some money for the venue. The rates will vary from one venue to the other. As such, comparison shopping is always mandatory. During price comparison, be sure to check out what is included in the cost and choose a venue that gives you the best deals.

A good venue should also give you the freedom to bring your own vendors. This way, you can negotiate with various vendors and chose one who is affordable. However, it is not bad for the venue manager to give you a list of their preferred vendors as long as he/she does not dictate to you who to hire.

Good locations are always booked in advance. Because of this, you should also follow suit and make advance booking if you want the best. Otherwise, you will find your first choice venue taken up and you may be forced to look for an alternative.

It is a common trend nowadays for couples to use different locations for ceremony and the reception. However, if you want the function to flow effortlessly, you should consider using one venue for the two. This will even be cost effective compared to using two different sites for the ceremony and reception.

Your wedding day is probably the biggest day of your life. As such, you should never compromise anything to make it great. If necessary, you should even hire an expert to advice you on the venue choice.
