4 Key Qualities of Good Wedding Places

infographic: 2.4 million weddings are performed yearly

Every year, an average 2.4 million weddings are performed in the United States. Some of these ceremonies are held at traditional churches and wedding reception sites, and some are held in backyards, private islands, and Las Vegas wedding chapels. While couples will always have the freedom to choose exactly where they’d like to tie the knot, there are some aspects that are essential to look for in a high quality wedding venue.

Whether you’re going for a traditional or eccentric wedding, here are some qualities you should look for in good wedding places.

  1. Coordination Assistance:
    Most good wedding places have a professional wedding package to help you make decisions and coordinate even the smallest details of your big day. If any of the wedding venues you’re considering don’t have a wedding planning expert on site, it’s going to seriously complicate things and add a whole lot of unnecessary stress. Couples already have enough to worry about when planning their special day — let a wedding venue do what they do best and take away some of the pressure.
  2. Extensive Features:
    As technology improves, couples are finding more and more unique ways to express their love for one another to the world. Many couples choose to make slideshows or videos of their journeys together, and if that’s your plan, it’s important to make sure the venue you choose has the technological capabilities to broadcast whatever media you want to show your guests. In addition to space for a band or DJ, make sure they have the audio-video equipment for speeches, toasts,
    videos, and more.
  3. Nearby Accommodations:
    One major feature that many couples neglect to consider when planning their wedding is the variety of hotels and lodging options your out-of-town guests will have to choose from. That’s part of the reasons some brides choose a hotel as their venue, so guests won’t have to worry about transportation. If your preferred venue doesn’t have many hotels nearby, it may deter guests — especially those coming from out of town — from attending at all. Plus, if you plan to serve alcohol, you want transportation to be as simple as possible.
  4. Flexible Policies:
    Everybody knows that planning a wedding gets complicated fast, and your planning process will be much smoother if your venue has flexible policies when it comes to changes. Additionally, the ideal venue offers a wide variety of wedding reception packages from which to choose — from reception halls to dining and food options — good wedding places always have plenty of amenities to allow couples to customize their personal experience.

Ultimately, these are just a few of the most important qualities a good wedding venue should have. For more information about what to look for in a wedding venue, feel free to reach out on social media!
