First Impressions

So what exactly should you look for in a reception site? You should be looking for the same sorts of things you looked for in your mate -- charm, personality and depth. Make an appointment and plan to spend at least an hour at each event space. It’s best to visit each venue around the actual hours of your event – it will allow you to see how the space looks naturally lit. When you begin checking out potential sites, note how each location makes you feel the instant you walk in; whether it’s relaxed, formal and/or sophisticated. Pick a venue with a view. What will your guests look at when

they’re not gazing at you or smiling for the photographer? Exceptional locations are always a feast for the eyes. Look at the decor or architectural details: an amazing crystal chandelier as the room’s centerpiece will add that something extra to your reception site. If you’re considering a certain theme and color palette for your wedding, take that into consideration as well. The walls, carpets, chairs and curtains shouldn’t clash with your wedding’s theme. One way to keep stress levels down is to pick a reception facility that can cater to many or all of your needs.
