Now that you have got a date for your wedding, one of the first things that come to mind is the Reception venue. Location of the venue is very important. It will make things logistically easy on the day if you choose a venue that is nearer to where the ceremony is being held or even better, choose a venue that is licensed to perform civil ceremonies so you have everything in one place.
*Did you know that most venues charge less to book their venue on a Friday than Saturday? Why not have your wedding on a Friday instead and save a few pounds to spend on your Honeymoon?
*Also, Hotels tend to charge less during quiet season between January and end of April.
*Some Hotels will not charge room hire if you spend a certain amount of money on food, for example if you book a 3 course Wedding Breakfast plus their drinks package. Last year we managed to get venues for free for a couple of our clients at 2 different hotels in Brighton.
*Remember, most hotels offer their Bridal suite complimentary so make sure to make reference to this just in case they forget to offer you one.
* It is best to go for a venue that has ample parking for you and your guests.
If you venue is a Hotel and has no parking space, from experience, we have found out that hotels can get 24hr parking vouchers for on-street parking at a very reasonable price from the local council office, so it is worth asking your venue to provide you with the vouchers for your guests to park on the streets around the venue.
