There are a million different places and types of weddings that you can have these days. With that in mind, how do you pick your venue?

First, you have to create your budget.  Without a budget, there is no venue.

Think about what’s most important to you about your venue.  For example, if you want an outdoor wedding, there’s no sense in wasting time looking at indoor venues. Right? Right.

Check out a few different places before you make your decision. See what feels right! (And keep in mind what fits the price range!) Does it fit any theme you might have?

Ask questions about the venue. Is it a venue that is usually used for weddings? Do they have a wedding contact who will work with you through the planning? If the venue is for both the ceremony and the reception, do they provide catering, linens, etc? Can you bring in your own catering?

What did you consider when you picked your venue?
