Tips For Choosing Good Austin Texas Wedding Venues

By Linda Ruiz


When couples start shopping for wedding venues, too often, they fall in love with the beauty of place and forget to consider the more intricate issues. This somehow makes sense as nobody would want to look back at their big day and say that the place was practical. However, unless the place is just magical, there are a host of factors you have to consider if you want to witness the best on your big day. When looking for good Austin Texas wedding venues, couples should always consider the following factors.

As you research and tour different locations, you must not forget your vision for the big day. You need to pay attention to the look and feel of the place and whether you see it complementing your very own style. Decorations also matters a lot. You should always give priority to well cared for spaces.

Most locations have their indoor vendors. Such venues rarely admit other vendors from outside. So if you already have caterers, photographers, florists or any other vendors in mind, a restrictive venue is definitely not what you should lookout for. Instead, you need to look for locations that admit vendors from outside.

In most locations, important amenities like water and electricity are not always a problem. However, if you choose an outdoor venue, you should not take it for granted that these amenities will be available. This might not always be the case. You need to confirm in advance which amenities are missing so that you arrange how to avail them in advance.

You should also have idea of the number of guests attending the function even if just a rough estimate. This will help you when planning for seating arrangement. It is also important that you provide extra seating space for those guests who may come accompanied by friends and children.

You should also evaluate how much you are willing to spend on the venue hire. Come up with a realistic budget and stick to it. If your preferred venue is charging way beyond your budget, try to negotiate for reduced terms. If they are not willing to bulge, then you have to decide whether you want it too much that you are willing to increase the allocation for it. At the same time, you must also settle on substandard venue in the name of cost cutting.

It is important that you pay a reconnaissance visit to the venue before the D day. This will help you identify flaws in the venue if any and whether it is necessary to look for another venue or stick to the current. Of course this must also be done in good time to avoid inconveniences.

With the above tips in mind, you should not find any difficulty in finding a good venue. You must also start the search early enough. This is important because good wedding locations are always booked several months in advance.
