Choosing the Perfect Wedding Location

Coming up with a wedding location can be harder than it looks! As always location is of utmost importance and when it comes to your wedding day this is no different. Ultimately you should follow your heart and choose a place that best reflects your tastes as a couple. Find on a place you and your friends and relatives can relax in and your wedding is sure to be a wonderful day. 


Many factors have to be considered when coming up with the perfect wedding location. These are:


Size
When you’re deciding on the location for your nuptials it is important to decide how many people will attend. It is worth remembering that your eventual choice of location may affect the overall amount of rsvp’s. Is the venue convenient to get to? Will you contribute to travel expenses?

Style
How do you want your wedding day to be? The style is all important when you’re thinking about location. Will you want to be outside or inside? Will you have the service and reception in the same place? Whether you want a conservative traditional church wedding and formal reception or a relaxed ceremony in a sunny location followed by a huge party then it is best to visit the various locations and find out how open they are to your ideas.
Budget 
Think about how much of your overall wedding budget you would like to spend on the location and venue. If you have your heart set on a particular location there could be ways to get round a tight budget. If your wedding date is flexible then opt for out of season date when the cost of your venue may be up to half of the cost. 
An alternative way to save money on your wedding location is looking into using more unusual or unused spaces. Why not consider the local park. Otherwise if you have a friend or acquaintance with a large house and garden you could use this and install marquees.
Facilities
You will need to consider how well equipped any potential locations are for you and your guests. Will there be enough parking? If you want to make a grand entrance do you have to walk far and will you want to in a wedding dress? 
The best way to decide on the perfect location is to book a visit and get the owner to talk you through the facilities and what is on offer.
