Prioritize Your Must-Haves

You should make a list of your top priorities when it comes to your wedding venue. Is having an indoor/outdoor option vital to you? Do you need ample space for an extensive guest list? How about convenient accommodations for your wedding party and out-of-town guests? Wedgewood Weddings offers venues from luxurious reception spaces to serene courtyards near many recommended hotels.

Also, consider any cultural traditions or religious customs you want to incorporate and find a venue that can accommodate them seamlessly. Many Wedgewood Weddings venues have experience hosting multi-day Indian weddings, traditional Jewish ceremonies, and other cultural celebrations.

Think About Location

While most Wedgewood Weddings venues are in picturesque suburban or rural settings, they also have venues in major cities like San Diego, San Francisco, San Antonio, Denver, and Phoenix. Decide if you want a destination wedding away from the city crowds or a chic urban venue in the heart of it all.

The location may also decide whether most of your guests are local or out of town. Pick a convenient location within about an hour's drive of your hometown or somewhere especially scenic to make life easy for your guests. Picking a destination wedding is fun, too, and you can definitely enjoy a wedding weekend or a longer wedding vacation if you want! 

Schedule Site Tours

Once you've narrowed it down to your top venue contenders, schedule site tours at each location to get an authentic feel for the space, service, and surroundings. Ask questions about parking accommodations, hotel options, and venue capacity to ensure they align with your wedding needs and headcount.

A knowledgeable Wedgewood Weddings event expert will give you a comprehensive tour while answering your questions. Go ahead and ask additional questions about venue restrictions, event timeline requirements, décor policies, etc. Seeing the venue in person is the best way to envision you and your spouse getting married there.

During your site tours, observe how you feel in each space. Do the romantic garden views give you butterflies? Can you picture you and your spouse-to-be saying "I do" under the show-stopping chandelier?

Remember to consider the importance of trusting your intuition and emotions when making this big decision. After all, your venue sets the scene for one of the most meaningful days of your lives together.
