What are some memorable/silly/fun wedding venue ideas?
Sunday, June 6th, 2010
I am planning a small wedding ceremony (about 50 people) and I am trying to figure out a ceremony location that would be memorable and silly and fun. Anyone have any ideas? I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth Texas area, so if you know of a specific place, that would be great too. Thanks.
We have even considered doing it in a bounce house.
Which venue should I have my wedding at?
Friday, May 28th, 2010
A little background info first: My fiance and I are are getting married in the summer of 2011, in July. We are having a small wedding with about 70 guests. We are pretty casual people but we also like to have things looking elegant and nice (no courthouse wedding). Ideally I would like to have an outdoor ceremony with an indoor reception but being in Seattle I know that might be asking for trouble since it rains pretty much all year round. Also, we are going with blue, green and chocolate brown for our colors. Here are the choices that we are thinking of right now (I know its a lot, that why I need help!). Please look at the links and the photos and tell me which one you like best and why!

Wedding Reception Venue: Top Tips
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010
The first thing to take into account when choosing a wedding location is that there are likely to be two parts of your wedding to organise – the wedding ceremony and the wedding reception. As regards the ceremony, a church wedding is still the favourite choice for many couples, and most have a particular church in mind. In this case, the reception must be planned around the wedding service. Factors such as ease of transport from service to reception will be important when planning your church wedding.
If, on the other hand, you\’re thinking about a civil wedding, you have the option of choosing a venue that will host both your wedding ceremony and your wedding reception. If this is what you are hoping for, you will need to choose a venue that is licensed for marriage ceremonies. This may come with a higher price tag than non-licensed wedding venues, but has the benefit of minimising the amount of travelling involved for you and your wedding guests.
The type of wedding you have will depend partly on how big it will be, so here are some things to think about before approaching wedding venues:
Number of wedding guests. It may sound obvious but many venues will not be able to magic up extra space from nowhere if you add 20 extra guests at the last minute. You should have a good idea of numbers before you start looking at venues. Sit-down or stand-up wedding reception? A formal meal will obviously require more space than a stand-up buffet, so a venue whose seated capacity is 100 might well be able to accommodate 200 for a canap? reception. Which do you want? How big is your wedding band? Bands and other forms entertainment can take up a large amount of space, as can a dance floor, so decide when and where you want the entertainment to take place, and check with the venue that this can be done in the space available.
A small wedding venue can be beautiful. Of course you should make sure that your guests are not squashed in like sardines, but atmosphere-wise it can be almost as bad for a small number of people to be rattling around in a huge, high-ceilinged reception room. Make sure your venue is not too big for your needs.
Any number of buildings can make a perfect wedding reception venue, but here are some of the most popular options:
Historic Wedding Reception Venue
Castles, country houses and stately homes are among the locations many dream of for their big day. If your budget can stretch to it, this offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enjoy the use of a stunning building.
Hotel Wedding Reception
There are so many different types of hotel that there’s likely to be something for everyone, from traditional to ultra-modern. Having accommodation on the spot is, of course, a big plus.
Marquee Wedding Reception
If you have access to spacious gardens or other outdoor space, a marquee could be worth considering. Many people are surprised at how pricey it can be to hire a marquee for their wedding, but the plus side is that you can take control of wedding catering and could save a considerable amount by providing your own alcohol.
Sports or Social Club Wedding Reception
Different types of club premises can be perfect for a wedding reception. Do plenty of research and you could find one that’s in a stunning location, too. For example, some sailing or rowing clubs have picturesque waterside views, and can often be hired at a reasonable price, certainly compared to other popular wedding venues.
Restaurant or Pub Wedding Reception
Food and drink are among the main ingredients for a successful wedding reception, so where better to head than to a lovely restaurant or pub? We recommend TikiTano in Estepona, we have been to this venue many times, the ambience is right and the food is a gastronomic delight! Bear in mind that you’re more likely to find a good match if your wedding party is smaller, and if you’re lucky you might even be able to escape the heavy costs that are often quoted as soon as you mention the ‘w’ word!
Wedding Venue Checklist Wedding Prices
Over-inflated costs might mean you compromising on other aspects of the wedding. Whether it’s sky high drinks prices or hidden extras in the small print, you don’t want to feel exploited, so vote with your feet if you feel it’s not worth it.
Wedding Venue Staff
Do they seem experienced and professional? Flexibility is another key attribute. Are they willing to adapt to your needs? This will be a major factor in how smoothly your day runs.
Wedding Venue Facilities
Is the venue suitable for guests with a disability, and can it provide appropriate seating for the elderly and/or young children?

Choosing the Perfect Wedding Venue for Your Big Day
Friday, March 19th, 2010
Now that the excitement of the engagement and marriage announcement has died down, it’s time to start planning for the big day. Choosing your wedding venue should be something the two of you should consider together when planning the wedding. This location will be important as it will be remembered as the place where the two of you began your commitment to share your lives together forever. You want it to be a meaningful place for you but also be able to accommodate your wedding guests comfortably. The following are wedding venues you may want to consider when deciding where to hold the big event.
Church – A traditional wedding venue, holding your wedding at a church is the customary location to exchange wedding vows. This may be especially meaningful to the both of you if you plan to be married in the church you regularly attend. If you are not regular church members but would like to be married in a church, find one that you feel comfortable with and ask the ministry staff at the church about performing weddings for non-church members. You may also want to consider holding your reception at the church if it has the facilities to be able to accommodate your wedding guests.
Hotel – Usually a wedding reception venue, you may want to consider holding your wedding ceremony at the hotel where you are having your wedding reception. Most hotels have a small chapel or gazebo on-site where wedding ceremonies can be performed and guests can walk over into the hotel for the reception afterwards.
Private Home – Some couples want the intimacy or significance that a private home provides as a wedding venue. Getting married in your parents’ home, for example, may carry special meaning for both the wedding couple and the parents. If you are considering using a home as a wedding venue, you need to take into account the number of guests attending your wedding and the size of the home. If the house is not large enough to accommodate your wedding guests, then you may want to consider holding the ceremony outside in the yard if it is large enough to hold your guests.
Restaurant – Some restaurants have facilities to hold wedding ceremonies as well as wedding receptions. If you are considering a restaurant as a wedding and reception venue, make sure you find out if it is large enough to accommodate all your wedding guests. Also, make sure you are comfortable with the atmosphere of the restaurant where you will be holding your wedding ceremony.
Parks and other Outdoor Venues – Holding your wedding ceremony out in the park, at the beach, or on top of a mountain is a wonderful way to get married. Just make sure you take into consideration weather-related factors that may affect your wedding day for the worst — such as rain or bad weather. If you use an outdoor wedding venue, always make sure you have a backup venue in case the weather turns bad that day.
College or School – Some schools and colleges have small chapels on campus where alumni are able to use for wedding ceremonies for a very nominal fee. If the thought of getting married at your alma mater sounds appealing, you may want to consider it as a possible wedding venue.
The above is just a short list of the many places you may want to consider for wedding venues. Just be sure that wherever you choose as your wedding venue, it has meaning to the both of you, you feel comfortable saying your vows there and it is able to accommodate all your wedding guests.
Good luck and happy planning!

How do you find a wedding reception venue WITHOUT a caterer?
Friday, March 19th, 2010
I am in Durham, North Carolina, and I am assisting in planning a wedding. The bride has selected a ceremony site AND a caterer, but no reception venue. She can’t use the reception at the church because they won’t allow dancing. Any idea how to locate a reception site where you can outsource the catering?
Durhamites, if you know any where specific I would appreciate that, too!!
