Choosing a wedding venue – Categorized into 3 wedding venues

Wedding venue in general can be categorized into 3, namely:

1. OWN venues. This is where the couple will host the wedding on the places that no need to pay for the venue. A common example is parents’ or relatives’ house. By default, these kinds of venues can save up your budget for wedding. Just take note if the venue can hold enough space for your wedding guests.

2. PUBLIC venues. Public parks, gardens, or beaches are considered public venue. In most countries, this could be a “budget” solution for wedding venues. However, you need to check if permits or licenses are required before holding your wedding in public places. Set a side enough budget to process the permits to your local government. Aside from its budget venue, public venue is a great place to express yourself in unconfined atmosphere of a wedding.

3. RENTAL BASIS venues. This type is a common choice of the couple because it offers privacy and environment that the couple can choose from. There are a lot of places like auditoriums, club houses, country clubs, conference centers, convention centers, hotels, houses of worship, mansions, museums, resorts, hall, stadiums, yachts or cruise ships, and many more of places that you can thing of. Using rental basis allows you to think freely about the wedding theme that you want to apply on the wedding venues. Cost of wedding venues could be vary depending on the size and popularity. Some are even already fully booked for weekends for the whole year ahead.

Based on the categories above, couple should sit together to decide the wedding venues based on your wedding budget and preference. A common misperception is that to have OWN venue is always cheaper in term of total costs for the whole wedding costs. It is NOT always true. Wedding venue cost is only one of the costs of wedding budget, you might get a free venue but you need to order or prepare yourself for the food and decorations. Some RENTAL BASIS venues are often offering package for venue, food, and decorations so that you could save more for the whole cost of the weddings.

To avoid any misleading, try to make a list of your wedding costs in details. Compare each of the costs if certain wedding venue is selected. The most important is try to make your wedding planning as fun activities. For “soon to be” brides, if making a notes in a colorful note are fun, please do so. Do not stress out to much with the preparations. In the end, the wedding should be a joyful and memorable event of your life.
