The wedding ceremony is meant to be beautiful and romantic, but it is also very predictable and people come to expect the same thing at every wedding. The reception however is where the fun begins. Therefore it’s just as important if not more to look for wedding reception venues as it is to look for ceremony venues. The setting or tone of your wedding reception is what will really make your wedding memorable for your wedding guests.

There are definitely a lot of things to consider when selecting wedding reception venues. Among the most important are cost and size. Before you begin on your search, you should create a budget. Each major component of your wedding should have its own budget, the reception venue is no exception. First you will need to settle on a price you are willing to pay to have your wedding reception, then start looking for possible places. It’s much harder to first find the perfect venue only to have to settle for something less, because you realize it’s out of your price range. The size of the venue is also a key factor when deciding on a place. You will have to get an idea of how many guests will be in attendance in order to know if the size of the venue is appropriate or not.

There are other factors that come into play when looking for wedding reception venues. Make sure that other weddings have been held at the location before and they have a license to hold such ceremonies. You need to be aware of the equipment they have on hand, whether or not they allow you to decorate the place according to your taste, etc. Do not overlook the location of the venue, is it close to the location of the ceremony? Is it convenient for your wedding guests to get to? Think about the theme of your wedding and the season it is going to take place in. These are all things that must be considered carefully before making a final decision.

Take a look at some of these popular wedding reception venues:

Historical Venues

Citadels, stately homes, country houses are just a few historical locations that will be perfect to have a wedding reception. If you are having a vintage themed wedding, there is no better place to entertain your guests afterwards.

Five Star Hotel

Fancy hotels are a safe bet for having your reception, they always know how to turn an empty ballroom into something magical for your wedding. The price tag is a little steep, but you get what you pay for.

Sports or Social Club

You will often find country clubs or other sports related clubs have large rooms that are perfect to hold a wedding reception. Some of them come at very reasonable prices, take a look around your city and ask a few if they do weddings.

Restaurant or Bar

For a smaller wedding party, a restaurant or bar can be the ideal location for a reception. Check to see if your favorite restaurant or bar does private parties and if they have ever had one for a wedding.
