Most couples are working to a strict budget as well as trying to have the wedding they have always dreamed of. I am going to list all the things that couples getting married in Leicester need to consider when choosing their venue primarily focusing on venues for your wedding reception as opposed to the ceremony.
Price:
When choosing wedding venues, Leicester has something to offer couples of all budgets. For those on a shoe string there are numerous village halls, community centres and church halls that rent function rooms at really reasonable prices.
One thing to consider with this type of venue is that you will usually have to provide your own catering and refreshments. If you are getting married in a church try and find out if they have a hall you could rent.
For those looking for something a little more opulent and extravagant there a number of country halls and hotels that offer stunning scenery and surroundings. Obviously for this kind of venue you will be paying a premium. So first off you need to assess your budget and find a venue in accordance with it. Be realistic too. Don’t go and look around stately homes and grand hotels if you have limited means as this will only lead to frustration and disappointment.
You should also be considering the number of intended guests for your reception as this will usually impact the price dramatically as most reception venues charge per head.
Location:
Take a look at your guest list and write down where each of them is travelling from. If you find that you have a lot of guests making a reasonably sizable journey (over 1 hour) then you need to seriously consider the location of each of your prospective wedding venues, Leicester has venues spread all over the city and county. If possible find a venue that is easy to locate. There is nothing worse than making a long tedious journey only to find that you have to drive around a place you don’t know trying to find the venue.
Always provide directions with your invitations. This is especially important for more rural locations. A lot of people use Sat Nav’s these days so try putting the postcode in to yours and taking a drive over to your venue and see where the Sat Nav takes you. Rural locations can have postcodes that spread for miles, this way you can add extra instructions for those using a Sat Nav to ensure that they don’t end up miles away or somewhere obscure! When choosing a venue also consider guest who don’t drive and try to make sure that your venue is reachable by public transport.
Requirements:
What do you require of your reception venue? Lots of car parking? A welcome drinks area? A buffet or full wedding breakfast? Decorations to be supplied? An in-house DJ? You need to consider how much you are willing to undertake yourself and how much you will expect the venue to do. Obviously budget will have an effect on your answer to that question.
The best thing to do is search website and request brochures before going to view a venue. You will be able to find out what each particular venue offer and then shortlist all the ones that meet your criteria. This means you won’t waste your time viewing venues that can’t meet your needs.
Your search for wedding venue Leicester need not be long and cumbersome. Take all these things in to account and simplify the process! Necessities
