How I Would Choose Where To Say My Vows
If you are in the middle of planning your wedding, you probably have a lot to think about. From organizing your wedding reception to the type of dress that you want to wear, you probably have a lot on your mind.
One thing that you may be struggling with is choosing where to say, “I do.” If you are finding it hard to choose a venue for your wedding ceremony, don’t worry you aren’t alone. Of all the things that need to be organized for a wedding, the thing that most couples struggle most with is choosing a venue for the wedding.
To help you choose the perfect venue for your wedding ceremony, I thought I would share my top tips with you, below:
Decide on the type of ceremony that you want
The first thing that you need to do is consider the type of ceremony you want – religious or non-religious. The type of ceremony that you want will depend on the beliefs that you and your partner have.
If you both have different beliefs, such as one of you being Christian and one of you being non-religious, this can cause problems. The best way to deal with these problems is to talk them through with your partner. It might be hard to decide where to get married if you both have different beliefs, but it is doable.
Be willing to compromise
If you and your partner both have different beliefs – one of you is religious, and one of you is not, be willing to compromise. There is no point arguing about it; it’s best to talk things through and find a way to make you both happy.
Perhaps you could have a Christian priest perform your ceremony, but have it done somewhere outside the church? This is a great way to compromise and ensure that your wedding ceremony is suitable for both of you.
Take how many guests you have into account
When it comes to choosing a venue for your wedding ceremony, it’s important to take how many guests you have into account. If you have 300 guests coming to the ceremony, for example, then it’s crucial that you find a venue that they will all fit in.
Before going to view any venues, make sure to ask them how many guests the venue can seat. That way you can narrow down your list of wedding ceremony venues, and won’t have to waste time viewing unsuitable ones.
Set a budget
Many couples make the mistake of thinking that churches are free for wedding ceremonies, but sadly that’s not the case. All wedding ceremony venues, from churches to registry offices, charge for their services.
Make sure that before choosing where to have your ceremony held, that you know how much you can afford to spend. This is important as it will allow you to choose a venue that is within your price range.
Choosing a venue for your wedding ceremony can be tricky, especially when you and your partner have different views on what you want. However, if you follow my simple tips above, you will be able to find the wedding venue of your dreams without too much stress.
