Finding the reception hall for your wedding is one of the first steps in your preparations and not the least, due to its importance and its cost. On your notes!
Alongside the caterer, this is in fact the most expensive service of your wedding budget. It is therefore essential to choose your reception roomat least a year in advance, and to take into account essential criteria so that everything is under control… Our advice for choosing wisely.
How to optimize the price of room rental?
If the budget for rental of your wedding hall is substantial, it can however be optimized. Prices vary accordingly depending on the region, and whether or not the location is located in a large city. In addition, organizing your wedding outside the peak spring-summer season and outside weekends can be much more economical. So do not hesitate to look into these options and choose your service provider based on these possibilities.
A room in harmony with the style of the wedding
Organizing a country wedding in a closed room in the middle of the city is not necessarily the best option… Think about the types of wedding hall which could be appropriate, or even underline the theme of your day. At the heart of a castle for a romantic weddinga farm for a nature-themed wedding, a hotel for an intimate union or even a bright and nicely decorated hangar for a chic industrial theme. Harmony must always be the watchword!
Take into account reception capacity and infrastructure
Choosing your wedding venue will of course also depend on the number of your guests as well as the type of reception you wish to organize there. Sufficient space for the meal tables, for the cocktail, for potential food trucks or entertainment, for the music group or even for the dance floor… Logistics is also an essential element in your choice: is the room close to the ceremony location and infrastructure so that certain guests can sleep on site or in the surrounding area? Is there an indoor space for your outdoor wedding if the weather is not good? Is there a large enough parking lot available…? So many good questions to ask yourself beforehand!
Define included or extra services
Finally, find out about the services offered by the place in question, whether included or not in the service. Indeed, some rooms sometimes require the caterer, decorator or DJothers allow you to decorate according to your tastes and provide the furniture. Pre-wedding support or the maximum availability time of the room are also criteria that can make the difference and allow you to confirm that you have truly chosen the ideal wedding room, the one that best suits your needs!
