How To Find The Right Barn Wedding Venue Georgia For Your Big Day

By Ronald Roberts


If you are getting married and are looking for a rustic alternative to a hall or other reception space, you might want to think about having your celebration in a more rural location. A barn wedding venue Georgia may be just what you are looking for but if you do want this kind of setting you may need to do some additional planning. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Unless you have a barn at your disposal, chances are you will need to rent a location for your celebration. While many couples think that a barn might be more reasonably priced than other venues this is not always the case. Setting your budget before you start looking can be a good idea. This way you do not end up falling in love with a location that you cannot afford.

Compiling a list of venues is not hard but you may want to consider what they can offer you when you are deciding which is your top choice. You will want to make sure that a potential location is not so rustic that guests will not be able to reach it easily or that there will not be facilities available for caterers to prepare food.

Something to consider is whether you want to work with a location where everything is included or if you want to find your own service providers. If you do want to find your own caterer or DJ you might want to find out if there will be any extra charges to do so. You should also find out whether you need to supply your own liquor license or not.

Barns can often vary quite a bit in terms of size and the amount of usable space that you will have to work with. Thinking a bit about the style of event you want and the number of guests you will be inviting is a good thing to do. If you want a sit-down meal and want a large guest list you will need a much larger venue than if you were having a different kind of wedding celebration.

Some couples will want to have their ceremony in the same location as their reception. If this is the case for you and your future spouse you will need to think about a potential venue more creatively. Is there a picturesque area where you can have your ceremony that is away from your reception site? If there is bad weather, will you be able to have your ceremony in the barn?

Often a wedding venue such as a barn will need more in the way of decor. This is especially true if the bride and groom want a celebration that has a more formal feel. If you are not working with a venue that has a decorator on staff you may want to find out which decorators have experience working in this kind of environment.

Although most brides start their planning early, it is especially important that you do so when using a barn venue. They are limited and may book up quickly especially if they offer package deals. You will also want to leave extra time to book other service providers that may not be necessary if you are tying the knot in a more urban environment.
