Shortly after you get engaged, you will not only receive hundreds of well wishes but also the inevitable questions of when and where. The questions of when are where are never easy to answer as most people tend to think. Gone are the days when couples used to pick any nearby venue and then check that task off their list of things to do. These day, you have to dig really deep if you want a good venue for your wedding and especially if you plan to conduct it in a hall as opposed to garden. Below are factors you need to consider when looking for a good wedding hall.
First, it is very important that you have a rough idea of guest numbers before you start the search or you be prepared to alter your numbers from time to time. Having a rough estimate will help you avoid the disappointment of visiting beautiful venues only to realize that they are too small for your guests. Having this number in mind is also very important as most venues demand that you have a rough estimate when making a booking.
No matter how good a particular venue may be, if it is not easy to access, then it will not be of any help to you. As such, accessibility is another very important factor that you cannot afford to ignore when choosing a nuptial venue. In fact, you should not even contemplate hiring a hall that your guests will have difficulty in accessing.
Before you start this very important search, you should also come up with a budget of how much you are willing to spend on venue. This way, you will be able to find a venue that is within your budget. Working out your budget early will also help you short list the potential halls thus avoid wasting time on halls that are too expensive.
Parking is seldom a critical factor when planning to get married in a rural area. However, you need to be sure that there is enough parking spaces for all your guests especially if you are planning to hold the function in a parking challenged area. If you are not able to get parking spaces for all your guests, you may have to arrange for them alternative means of transport. This will only add to your stresses.
Since the wedding will be held inside a room, you should also look for a well lit room. If the room does not have enough windows, then you should organize for artificial lighting. There is nothing as bad as staying in darkness while there is plenty of light outside.
Once you find that ideal venue, it will not be a done deal yet until you sign a contract. This is now the time to put your emotions aside. In case you feel emotionally attached to the venue and cannot make independent decision, it may be wise to request a non emotional friend to help you review the small prints before signing.
If you keep all these things in mind and ask the right questions, you will be able to find that ideal hall without breaking your back. But you need to remember that you are not the only one looking for a venue. In other words, good halls get booked in advance. It is therefore crucial that you start your search at least three months in advance.
