How to choose the best wedding venue
Your wedding day is one of the happiest days of your life and you are entitled to the best treatment, pampering, dress and of course wedding venue for your big day. If you are planning on getting married in Gauteng, you will have a myriad of great wedding venues to choose from. Here are some tips on how to choose the best wedding venue:
- Location: Although destination weddings have become extremely popular over the past few years, many brides still prefer getting married close to home. The convenience of being close to your wedding venue in Gauteng (and knowing that most of your family and friends won’t be spending an arm and a leg on travel and accommodation) are some of the obvious reasons for wanting to be close to your wedding venue.
- Chapel / wedding license: In South Africa, there are certain pre-requisites when getting married outside a church (or in a magistrate’s court). If you are planning on getting married at the venue (as opposed to simply having your ceremony at the venue), make sure they have a chapel and a wedding license before you book your dates.
- Photo opportunities: Your wedding pictures will be one of the most important considerations of your big day. These photos will be in a wedding album (or displayed on your walls) for many years. Make sure the venue has nice landscaped grounds and pretty gardens where you will be able to take wedding pictures.
- Costs: The wedding venue is usually one of the major expenses of a wedding. If you’ve already got your heart set on a wedding venue (but find it a bit pricey), ask if they have special prices for getting married during the winter months.
- Accommodation: Unless all your friends and family are from Gauteng, you will probably want to offer them some form of accommodation at the venue. Guests who are travelling to the wedding venue for your big day should be able to book a room for the night so they can relax and enjoy the special occasion without worrying about driving.
