With a wedding just months away, brides are bombarded with a list of things that need to get taken care of as soon as possible. While many need attention, none is more important that choosing one of the Atlanta, GA Wedding Locations to hold the ceremony, the reception, or both. The venue usually determines that date of the nuptials as well as a host of other decisions that need to be made. Here are three things for brides to consider when it comes time to choose a wedding location.
Size of the Facilities
Everyone needs to fit comfortably into the space provided by the event venue. Guests that are standing up or unable to enjoy the festivities can make for an awkward wedding reception. Brides should discuss the number of people that the facility can hold. If there is any question about the location’s size, it is often better to go with a place that has extra space. Despite lots of planning and preparing, the final number of guests tends to change up to the date of the wedding.
Food
One question every bride needs to ask the wedding coordinator for Atlanta, GA Private Events is how the food will be handled. Some properties have an onsite catering team that will take care of a meal, no matter what the size, for the wedding reception. While this in some ways limits the options available to the couple, it does take away some of the stress that come with waiting for someone off property to show up with all the food. Other venues will allow a bride to bring in an outside caterer to handle the party.
Potential for Photographs
Couples tend to document every single moment of their big day and there is no doubt a photographer is going to be around taking pictures of everything. Because of this, brides should look around each of the potential wedding locations and think about how the space will look in photos. It helps to walk outside and look around to see if there are any areas that would be perfect for pictures of the couple, the bridal party, and the family. On a day like this, everything needs to be carefully considered.
