Selecting the Right Reception Venue
Consider Your Guest List, Budget & Personality
Choosing the right wedding reception venue is one of the most important decisions you’ll make—it sets the tone for the whole affair and is what most people will remember long after the big day.
Knowledge is Power
Unless you’ve been married before you probably aren’t aware of the options right at your fingertips.

Make a weekend out of it with your fiancé and visit the venues on your list.
Comfort Comes First
Before you visit any of the venues on your list, make sure they will comfortably fit your wedding guests. Only search for small wedding venues if you’re having an intimate affair, and a larger space if you’re expecting one hundred plus guests. Intimate weddings often take place at the home of the bride’s parents. If your parents' home fits your criteria, then consider that an option.
