Indian weddings are definitely one of the most lavish weddings in the world. There are so many aspects that need to be taken into consideration when planning a wedding, whether it is the selection and sending of invites, booking a wedding photographer, or finding that perfect wedding outfit. And a celebration of this grandeur calls for an equally fabulous venue. Although there are infinite hotels and banquet halls to choose from in India and across the globe, not every wedding venue would be suitable for your requirements. Here are some of the important pointers you will have to keep in mind whilst finding the perfect venue for your wedding:
Budget Allocation
Whether you wish to have a wedding that is simple and intimate or big and extravagant, the budget is the deciding factor. You can shortlist your options based on the different tariffs of the numerous venues that are on offer. Since wedding functions are one of the most frequently booked events, most wedding venues offer great packages and incredible discounts. It is crucial to make a wise financial decision to avoid exceeding your pre-planned budget.
Availability of the Venue
Now that you have found a venue that suits your needs and is within your budget, it is of absolute importance to determine the availability of the wedding venue during your wedding celebrations since every Indian wedding takes place over the course of a few days. It is vital to book the venue at least a few months before the D-day.
Accessibility of the Venue
Whilst you consider the different wedding venues, it is wise to think of the accommodation and the commute from the hotel or your house to the venue. Try to make reservations at a hotel that’s lesser than 10 to 15 minutes away from the venue. Excluding you and your close family, think of how your wedding guests would be getting to the venue. If you’re getting married in a location away from home, it is almost always essential to make arrangements for transportation in the form of car or tempo traveler rentals.
Capacity
If you are expecting a huge number of guests on your wedding day, make sure that the venue has the capacity and facilities to accommodate them and a few unexpected guests. And since an Indian wedding can be very elaborate, plan the space for decor, meal service, and entertainment thoroughly. The wedding photographers would also require a considerable amount of space to set up their equipment. It would be best if you get to visit the wedding venue well in advance before committing to the location to avoid an unsavory experience later on.
Amenities
The convenience and comfort of your wedding guests should be the top priority. Hence, look at the various amenities that the venue has to offer. Some of the basic things you have to look for are the ample car parking facilities, furniture for the couple and guests, sufficient lighting and ventilation or a good air conditioning system and the wedding food, of course! Do not forget to check the condition of the green rooms and the washrooms for the couple and the guests.
Remember to tick off all these essential points whilst planning your dream wedding to eliminate any unforeseen hiccups during the festivities.
