There is such a variety of wedding halls! Some are better for small parties, and others are geared toward larger groups. Determine how many guests you'll have before choosing your wedding venue.
When considering all the options for wedding halls,
you'll first want to figure out how many guests you're planning to invite to your big event. There are many options for both large and small wedding ceremonies and receptions, so once you've decided on the size of the guest list, consider what type of atmosphere you'd like for the ceremony.
Options for Larger Gatherings
Banquet halls are one of the best options for medium or large marriage ceremonies. Often, the halls are equipped with a kitchen area to prepare and store food, a dance floor, and many other amenities used during the ceremony and reception. Banquet halls typically offer catering and decorating services, or they know of caterers who've worked with previous couples in the very same hall to fashion their perfect day!
One of the most expensive options for wedding halls is renting a country club. Even though a country club is a costly option, it's definitely a beautiful setting with room for both the ceremony and the reception all in the same location. Many country clubs will also cater the food and other services, but be sure to check out their reputation before you book!
Finally, you may want to consider a hotel ballroom option for a large wedding and reception. Not only do hotels offer catering options, but it's also great for out of town guests, since they can stay on site. Once again you'll want to read several reviews written by those who've used the hotel to cater big events in the past before you jump in and sign a contract.
Options for Smaller Gatherings
The great outdoors offers some great options, from gardens full of flowers to beautifully shaded woodsy cathedrals. Some couples choose the beach or the western atmosphere of a ranch. A small ceremony is ideal for outdoors since you'll need to make sure that everyone can see and hear the ceremony without the help of wonderful acoustics. As long as the weather doesn't complicate matters, you're bound to have the outdoor day of your dreams!
A small country chapel offers a beautiful and quaint option for your small wedding and reception. These venues often include catering packages or at least the names of local caterers who've worked in the chapel before. A chapel provides a smaller and more intimate setting if you're planning on primarily inviting family to celebrate your event.
While there are literally hundreds of wedding halls for couples to choose from, one of the most common is a place of worship. Depending on your religious beliefs, a church, synagogue, mosque or other hallowed place may be chosen. The price is usually very reasonable, and the convenience of having the ceremony and reception in the same building is definitely convenient.
With so many options to choose from, you'll have fun choosing your location. To gradually eliminate options, look at the size of your party, the number of guests you plan to invite, and your decorating style for the big day!
