Being engaged has to be one of the most exciting things that could happen to a person. Couples tend to get overly excited when they start to plan out the details of their wedding. While I’ve never been married myself, I know that this can be an overwhelming process. Sometimes, couples get too overwhelmed with happiness and excitement that they end up not knowing where to start with the planning. Well ideally, they should start choosing the venue first. To help them with that, here are some few tips every couple should consider when it comes to selecting the right wedding location.

The first step is to discuss things together as a couple. Just like in corporate meetings, couples should start by brainstorming ideas. Planning together is crucial since it prevents the couple from developing any major disagreements as they go along the entire preparation process. The couple should be clear as to what type of wedding they want. It’s either they want to have a relaxed and contemporary sort of wedding or a more traditional and elegant one. This will help them choose a location better.

In line with that concern, they should also decide whether they’d want to have a civil ceremony or a church wedding. This will help them narrow down their choices.

More importantly, they should set a budget. Setting a budget is important especially if the couple is planning to rent party halls for the wedding reception. They should also remember to include other additional expenses such as decorating costs or renovation costs in the budget.


Finally, the couple should also consider the number of guests they are planning to invite. If they are working with a limited budget, they should at least set a maximum number of people. It would be such a waste to hold a beautiful wedding in a nice venue only to find it cramped with people on the day of the event itself.
