Choosing a wedding venue can be a tricky decision and a stressful one; do you want a city wedding, perhaps a ceremony the countryside? Do you want the service to be in a church or religious surroundings? all of these are things you will need to consider for your wedding venue. So if you want a wedding venue in Suffolk, for a country affair or are more set on a venue in London, this article will look at what you need to be considering to find that special wedding venue.

First of all, the first thing to consider is to decide what are your top priorities, large or small guest list? A location with a massive wow factor? Do you want to have your special day near your current home, near your families home or in another location completely? What sort of atmosphere do you want on your day? Do you want it to be relaxed or formal? Every decision you make about these questions will help you narrow down to a list of potential venues. Some venues will fit your needs far better than others and being clear on what you want will help you get what you want.

The next important part of choosing your venue is the timing, most wedding venues are booked at up to eighteen months in advance so you need to book and keep organised. If you want to have a brief engagement then you may not be able to secure your favoured venue (well not on a Saturday anyway as that is the most popular day for a wedding). If you do not want to wait to get married then you will need to be flexible about the date and the day of the week to ensure you get your chosen venue when you want.

Lastly one good way of finding you best venue, should it be a wedding venue in Suffolk to a venue in London is to get recommendations. They are the best tool for finding a suitable place; ask everyone you know abut where they good married and what they thought about the venue. Finally, create a short list of the venues that you have come across, some venues you will be able to remove from the main list by simply viewing the websites. Most sites include comprehensive information about the wedding venue and will allow you to only visit menus that fit your initial criteria.
