One of the first things to think about, which is also one of the most important, is the location where to plan the reception, and possibly also the ceremony. It seems easy. Just choose the place you like best and that matches your dreams, but that’s not exactly the case! The choice of location is definitely one of the most important and difficult decisions to take into consideration since it mostly defines the style of the wedding. Before facing a difficult choice, it is necessary to consider at least 3 practical aspects: when the wedding will take place, the number of guests and the available budget.
In the first case, open spaces such as gardens and farmhouses are not recommended in unstable weather seasons. In the second case the guest list obliges the couple to consider the spaces. An excessively large environment would be dispersive and the atmosphere would be cold, vice versa if it were too small it would be too crowded. Finally, the budget available to couples will necessarily lead to the exclusion of some locations or possibly to look for alternatives that are refined and pleasant even if cheaper.

The wedding venue must be booked well in advance: at least 10-12 months before, in order to be sure to find availability for the fateful day of the week. Normally the most popular days to celebrate the wedding are Saturday and Sunday and are therefore the first to be occupied in a month. If the couple already have a date in particular that they prefer, my advice is to book as soon as possible. Once the reservation has been made, rush into new preparations such as the choice of floral decorations or the wedding mood!
The ceremony is necessarily linked to the search for the wedding venue. Whether the couple decides to get married in a church or at the town hall, it is important to choose a location not too far away. Not even the most loyal guests endure hours of driving to reach the party, especially if they have children along. If instead, the chosen venue offers the possibility of celebrating the ceremony on-site, it will be necessary to ascertain whether the ceremony has civil validity, in addition to considering the presence or absence of additional costs. This option should not be underestimated as having the opportunity to perform ceremony and reception in one place saves time and unforeseen circumstances.

It is natural to dream that the wedding day is a perfect sunny day. However, for greater safety, it is good to always have a backup plan in case it rains, especially if the wedding is outdoors. It is, therefore, necessary that the location chosen for the reception has internal rooms that can comfortably contain the guests. If the couple also have the opportunity to carry out the ceremony on site it is essential to have the Plan B. Never let a summer storm break out during the civil or symbolic ritual organized right in the garden of the location!
Another important aspect to choose the wedding venue is to make an inspection, as it is essential to visit the venue to evaluate spaces, services and accesses. Inquire if there are time limits, for example for music, if there are exclusive spaces and if parking is adequate. Always consider, in the case of elderly guests or children, if there are adequate facilities to accommodate them and how the toilets are. It is important not to neglect some details that may seem secondary but actually completes the harmony of the party.

Finally, when choosing the location, keep in mind the provenance of the guests. Choose a place that is not too far away. If so, make sure that all the guests can reach the party by setting up shuttles and organizing accommodations for those who have to stay overnight. Even the menu that the couple intends to serve should be tried. Always make sure of the quality of the catering or kitchen that will take care of the wedding party. The raw material of the wedding dishes must be excellent.
