Where does wedding planning begin? Of course, with a proposal. But the next important question that appears when thinking about your wedding is - where to celebrate the wedding? There are quite a lot of options, and here we are talking not only about the number of places for celebrations, but also about their types. Let's try to find out what are the types of celebration places and what should be taken into account when choosing one of them.
If you want to enjoy an exquisite dinner and an overnight stay is not planned, the celebration at the restaurant is a great option. Since the chefs will work in their professionally equipped kitchen, they have the opportunity to offer the most exquisite dishes to the wedding guests, and there will also be a greater choice of serving methods, because when celebrating a wedding in a guest house where there is no professional kitchen, you will most likely not be able to provide round serving or individual food selection for each guest.
When reserving a restaurant, ask about the time you can be in their room from one hour to the next. Remember to also include time for the decorator's work before the wedding and for taking down the decorations after the wedding.
Find out if the restaurant closes completely just for your wedding, or if other guests may be there, such as in the hall next door. It may happen that you are told that all the rooms of the restaurant are at your disposal, but later it turns out that this meant that the restaurant terrace outside is open to other patrons.
Ask what the additional costs are, apart from catering and room rental. Very often, restaurants have many items that you pay for separately, such as corkage, use of their sound system, security, cake cutting (if you brought the cake yourself instead of ordering from them), electricity, parking, etc.
Hotel restaurants and party rooms
Celebration venue: RESIDENCE
Those who want to enjoy a high level of service, as well as offer their guests overnight stays in the city, will surely like wedding celebrations in the hotel premises. As in other restaurants, the hotel's restaurants are equipped with a professional kitchen, which means that they have the opportunity to offer different serving options, including round serving.
A very important nuance - if the restaurant is located in a hotel, most likely, there will be volume restrictions - no loud music after 23.00, so as not to disturb the rest of the other hotel guests. Therefore, if you want an after-party, hotel rooms are definitely not for you.
Most often, hotels do not have their own closed courtyard or other area outside where the ceremony could be held, so if you want an outdoor ceremony, then this issue must be clarified and you should look for alternatives to hold the ceremony if the hotel does not have an outdoor area.
If the hotel is in the city (especially downtown), ask if they have a parking lot where your guests can park their cars.
Guest houses, manors, castles
If you want to relax from the hustle and bustle of the city, hide from other people's eyes and celebrate this holiday until dawn, the best option is guest houses or manors outside the city. Most often, such places also provide overnight accommodation for guests, which means that guests will be able to celebrate peacefully and go to bed at any moment when they are full.
Specify whether the entire area is closed for your wedding. It may happen that only the indoor premises are closed for the wedding, but other people can also stay outside, for example, tourists who have come to see the manor grounds.
If there is a water hole at the place of the celebration, ask if there is a possibility that someone, for example, from the neighboring area will swim by with a SUP board or a boat (you must have seen such videos on social networks). Ask that the administrator of the celebration places control so that this situation does not happen.
Manors and castles often have strict rules about what can't be done on their grounds, such as burning candles, using pyrotechnics, or moving furniture. Be sure to pay attention to these points so that you don't have to pay fines later.
Guest houses most often do not have their own caterers and equipped kitchens, so you will have to look for caterers separately and specify what kind of food they will be able to provide using the existing kitchen.
Celebration rooms, creative rooms
If you don't want to go out of town, but want to feel free and secluded from other people's eyes, and if staying overnight at the wedding is not your priority, I recommend looking at the celebration or creative spaces. the styles of these rooms are absolutely different, starting from a classic white room, ending with industrial loft rooms. You will definitely be able to find a room that will perfectly fit your chosen wedding style.
Celebration place: RESIDENCE
Important to know!
Specify which specific premises are included in the offer. It may happen that you have to pay separately for each separate room (party hall, kitchen, buffet hall, cloakroom). Calculate whether it is profitable for you.
Sometimes venues have their own conditions on which wedding professionals you can hire for your wedding, such as decorators , caterers and sound/lighting companies, and you should choose those offered by the venue. Think about whether you are willing to work with these specialists, or if you still want to bring in your own.
Tents and awnings
If you want to hold a wedding on your own territory, or the chosen venue does not have enough space for the number of guests, it is possible to set up a tent. There's a wide range of tents available in sizes, looks and materials, so you're sure to find one that's right for you.
A transparent tent looks very beautiful, but you have to understand that on a hot day it is like a greenhouse. On a sunny day, the air in the tent can heat up to +50oC and the guests simply won't want to and can't stay there. If you have chosen such a tent, make sure that all the walls of the tent can be opened and provide portable air conditioners and fans.
Remember that, apart from the celebration room, which in this case is a tent, there should also be auxiliary rooms, such as a kitchen, where the cooks will prepare and serve food, and a storage or backstage room, where empty boxes or other belongings can be put together after decoration work, and where musicians, photographers and other wedding specialists can put their belongings and stay. If the tent is installed, for example, on the territory of the celebration house, these rooms are most likely there, but if there are no buildings next to the tent that can serve the above-mentioned purposes, then additional technical tents must also be installed.
If you decided to hold a wedding "in the middle of nowhere" and set up a tent in a meadow or forest, keep in mind that the technical part will require a lot of investment, such as an electric generator to provide electricity, installation of amenities, water tanks and other details. in such a case, I definitely recommend to engage an organizer who knows all these nuances and will be able to advise you on them and ensure the fulfillment of all these nuances.
