Some Quick Tips on
Choosing Your Wedding Venue
1. Set Your Priorities
What is really important to you? A venue that fits your extensive guest list? The style and vibe of the venue? Are you dead set on a certain date? These are all things to consider in your venue hunt. Determining the most important thing to you from the get-go will help you narrow down venues.
2. Comparing Venues
Remember, not all venues are created equal! The process of comparing options can be overwhelming—reaching out, waiting for pricing, checking availability, and then sorting through what’s actually included. To get a true comparison, it’s important to look beyond just the venue fee. Adding up the costs of catering, bar service, and décor will give you a clearer picture. If you only consider the venue price, you might not be making a fair comparison.
3. Reviews are Important!
Take the time to read reviews from real weddings and real couples. Does the venue really care about you? You don't get a do-over on wedding day so it is so important to choose vendors that care about you and have the experience to ensure your day goes off without a hitch.
3. Transparency is Vital
Did the venue take a week to get back with you? Was it hard to get their pricing, date availability and other answers to your questions from them? This is a strong indicator of what they are like to work with as you plan. Our goal at Arlington Acres is always to make things easy and quick for you, our couples can get most of their questions answered on our website or planning materials and if not, we're a quick email away.
4. People Matter
This one is easy to overlook, do you like the staff at your venue? You'll be working with them for the entirety of the planning process so if you want to make sure you jive!
