Celebrating the best day of your life merits both careful and meticulous planning. Take some of the stress out of the wedding planning process by making sure the outdoor wedding venue you choose is prepared to entertain lavishly so that your wedding day is one to remember forever. Here are some things to consider.
Ensuring There’s Space
Some weddings are small and intimate, others have literally hundreds of guests. Whatever the size you anticipate, it’s important to select an outdoor wedding venue that has appropriate space, seating, and facilities for all members of your esteemed party.
Also, don’t forget the views. There are outdoor venues with space, but others are more aesthetically charming than others; that is also something to consider.
Culinary Options
Food is at the center of nearly every moment in life worth celebrating. When looking through options for outdoor wedding venues, ensure that the catering aligns with your expectations.
Consider choosing a venue that partners closely with local farms and suppliers, or which produces its own, shortening the supply chain, keeping management of the event simple and ensuring quality without compromise.
Beverages
Top-shelf drinks and attentive bar service can elevate the spirit of your celebration. If you’re offering alcohol, consider a thoughtful mix of wines, local spirits, and classic cocktails to suit every taste. An experienced bar team ensures each pour feels intentional- bringing ease, warmth, and a sense of occasion to your wedding.
Level of Service
What an outdoor wedding venue advertises, and what your experience is as you plan the most important event of your lifetime, are two different things. Naturally, the venue should offer white-glove service –Â and that level of care should be evident throughout the planning process. Their management staff, with whom you will be communicating as you make arrangements, represents a reflection of the service you will receive on your wedding day.
Professional Capabilities
In addition to catering and bartending, it’s valuable to choose an outdoor wedding venue that offers synchronized services, including but not limited to valet services, coat check services, and others such as on-site security, photography, and more. The better equipped the venue is, the more likely it is that the overall experience on the day of your wedding will be both seamless and pleasant.
