Your wedding will be the most extravagant party you've ever hosted, so make sure you select the most memorable venue to celebrate the big day. Planning a wedding can be more than a little intimidating, there are just so many things you need to consider. One of the most important decisions you'll make is picking a venue; it can make or break your event. But you can easily narrow down your search and find the perfect place.
Three Main Venue Options
If you are getting married and looking at destination wedding venues, you've three basic options: all-inclusive, indoors, or outdoors. Because of the weather, Australia allows you to celebrate outdoors, unlike some other countries where your only option is to do it inside.
All Inclusive: These basically means everything is included in the wedding package—anything from photographers to catering to luxury transport. You can find your own private photographer if you wish, but having everything arranged for you is very convenient.
Outdoor: Having your wedding outdoors has many benefits, but it all depends on the time of year you are having it. There are plenty of venues that cater for outdoor weddings; you just have to select the right time.
Indoor: When it comes to celebrating your big day, you'll have loads of options if you choose to host the event inside. Some of the most popular venues include:
- Vineyard Barn
- Historical Building
- Art Gallery
- Dance Hall
One of the best things about hosting your wedding indoors is that you don't have to worry about the weather. Indoor events are one of the most popular for this reason alone.
Suit Yourself
Only you really know yourself; but if the thought of hiring a photographer, finding a driver, tracking down a caterer, and decorating the venue seems like a lot of work, don't do it. Some people like to be in total control of everything, while others prefer to choose their dress and let someone else manage the entire project. You can either hire a wedding coordinator or book an all-inclusive wedding package that suits your needs. If you're an organized person, handling your wedding is a doable, yet time-consuming project.
Budget Accordingly
If you want your wedding to go off without a hitch and don't want to worry about financial debt after the big day, you must budget accordingly. Let's face it, weddings aren't cheap. You have to pay for a lot of things from your wedding dress to the venue.
Visit the Venue
Choosing a venue is challenging, but it is also one of the most enjoyable parts. Make sure you visit each place that has made your shortlist, and ask plenty of questions while there. More and more Australians are choosing all-inclusive wedding packages as they make life a lot easier in the build up to the ceremony. Organizing your own wedding is time consuming and often very stressful. An award-winning venue which specializes in weddings will be able to provide you with everything you need to ensure the occasion is a huge success.
