Guidelines To The Best Wedding Locations In Vermont

By Gwen Lowe


When couples start shopping for wedding venues, more often they fall in love with the beauty of the place and sign the contract before considering more important and practical issues. But unless the place is just magical and you are willing to take risks with it, you should never choose a venue for your big day until you have the approximate number of expected guests and your budget. You also need to decide whether to host the main ceremony and reception in the same place. Below are tips to help you choose ideal wedding locations in Vermont.

Your number one consideration should be style. You need to sit down with your partner or fiance and discuss the kind of theme you want for your big day. You should decide whether you want a vintage celebration or something modern. Whatever your choice, deciding on the style before you go venue hunting will prevent you from being swept away by venue simply because it looks nice.

Size also matters. You should decide whether you want red carpet function with everybody in town in attendance or just a small intimate affair. This is one decision that will definitely affect your venue choice. If you opt for a small, cosy restaurant for the reception, it may not be able to accommodate your long list of guests.

Budget is another factor you must consider. You should discuss with your partner how much you are willing to cough out on venue. If you are madly in love with a venue and you are operating on a tight budget, there are ways to get around it. One way is to slash budget from other things.

Venue availability is another factor you have to consider. If possible, avoid celebrating your marriage during peak seasons. Nuptial peak seasons are always towards the end of the year. During this time, venues will be very expensive.

With these tips in mind it is easy to locate a good venue. Spend time searching for information both online and offline. Online sites will provide reliable information on various venues. Read reviews and check ratings on popular venues for different nuptial ceremonies. Choose a venue with positive customer testimonials and high ratings. Venues with these characteristic meet your needs and finances.

If you know other couples who celebrated their weddings in the recent past, you can always ask them for recommendations of perfect venues around. Other than other couples, you can also seek referrals from vendors you have chosen like photographer, deejay, florist or caterer. They will be in a good position to give you recommendation since they perform in various venues on a very regular basis.

You should also make sure that the venue is near a good parking lot or garage. If parking space is a problem, you should look for alternative transportation for the guests. This will ensure that you do not inconvenience your guests.
