So you think the hard part is over. The question has been answered and you are on your way down the aisle. Think again. There are many things you have to consider when planning the perfect wedding. However, in general, the largest choice you will make is the wedding venue. Once you know the location, it is much easier to plan the rest of the wedding. After all, the setting will have a large impact on what decorations can be used, the color scheme, and even the number of guests you can invite. Consider the following checklist when choosing the appropriate venue.

• First you should consider what type of venue you are looking for. Many people have religious beliefs that dictate a church wedding. However, if you are free to any location you like, there are many options. You may choose a gazebo or a water front ceremony. You should consider what each location offers. Would you prefer to host the reception and wedding in the same location? Does the bride prefer to have a dressing room on site?
• You should next consider the capacity each will allow for guests. If you have an idea of ​​how many people you are inviting, this will make a difference in the venue you choose. If you are having a small intimate wedding, you may not want to choose a large venue that will leave your guests scattered over a hundred aisles. However, if you will be having a large wedding with hundreds of guests, you want them to be comfortable and have plenty of room. The best thing to do is make a quick list of how many guests you believe will be attending and leave room for last minute additions.
• You should also think about the plan you have in mind for the wedding procession. If you are thinking about having a candle lighting ceremony, you will want to make sure you have plenty of room. You should also consider the outside of the venue. If you have always dreamed of your guests lined outside to throw rice or confetti as you are entering your waiting wedding limousine, make sure this is a possibility. Many couples forget to check for musical options as well. If you will use a recorded piece, you will need a sound system or you might need an organ for live music.
• Price should also be a consideration. A wedding venue can often range in price from a few hundred pounds to thousands. Make sure that if you are spending thousands, you are getting what you pay for. Many couples find they can locate venues with many of the same features and amenities for a variety of prices. If you are on a tight budget, you might consider a public location, like a park or water front to save money.

Choosing a wedding venue can be very stressful and difficult at times. Keep in mind that it is not the venue that matters most, but the event that takes place within. At the end of the day, the vows that have been taken should be the most important part of the event.
