FOCUS ON BRIDAL
Where to say ‘I do’?
Wedding bells are
ringing but you still
need to find a venue
to celebrate your
special day. Get It
sourced a few pointers
to search for a perfect
wedding venue where
you can say “I do”!
According to the Pink Book, deciding
on the number of guests will greatly
narrow down your venue choices.
Once you have decided on the
number of guests who will celebrate
this joyous day with you, the next step
is figuring out how much it will cost
and how it fits into your budget.
The Pink Book advises that the cost of
a venue should not take up more than
50% of your total wedding budget. If
it does, “you will have to cut costs on
other elements and it might make you
look like a Queen serving McDonald’s
at a royal feast!”
The budget is secured, now you need
to consider what specific elements the
venue can add to the overall look of
your special day.
The Capital Hotel and Apartments
says that the theme and style of your
wedding come down to your personal
preference. Choosing a space that
aligns with your vision should be your
number one priority.
Find out about the availability of the
venue before setting your heart on it.
You wouldn’t want to be a bridezilla
over a venue?
Now that you fell in love with the
perfect venue and secured the
availability, you should ensure that the
catering and bar restrictions suit your
guests. This is also very crucial. Make
sure you know what is included and
what to bring, the Capital Hotel and
Apartments advises. Happy guests,
happy couple!
