HOW TO BOOK THE PERFECT WEDDING VENUE
HOW TO BOOK THE PERFECT WEDDING VENUE IN LOS ANGELES AND ORANGE COUNTY
The day of your wedding is meant to be memorable and should be something that you, your spouse, and your family and friends should remember for a long time. Therefore, choosing the right wedding venue to rent is extremely important.
There are a lot of factors to consider when booking a wedding venue in Los Angeles and Orange County. Without the right wedding planning and coordination things might seem overwhelming.
There are professional event companies like PIOVRA GROUP that can help you through the venue booking and wedding planning process.
Our team of venue matchmakers and event planners have put together an easy guide that will help you book the perfect wedding venue:
1. Talk with your partner and planner
When looking for a wedding venue it is important to sit down with your partner and make sure both of your wants and needs are accommodated as much as possible. You can have fun and handle the venue search or hire a planner that will help you select a variety of event spaces based on your event needs. Both yourself and your planner can certainly count on venue booking agencies such as PIOVRA GROUP that specialize in venue matchmaking and can make the venue booking process easier and less stressful by filtering a number of venues based on your requirements.
2. Set a budget
It is important to agree with your significant other regarding the amount you would spend on your wedding. Avoid splurging on your special day only to end up with debts at the start of your marriage. Sticking with a budget to use for your venue will be challenging, but it is something you both can do. Choosing a full-service venue that offers food and beverage as well as furniture rentals as part of the venue package can help you save money and stay within your budget.
3. Confirm total guest count
Do you want a big wedding? Or are you looking for a more intimate one? Completing the guest list before actually choosing the venue can help make the job easier as it can help you have an idea of how many people to expect. This number will have a huge role to play in deciding the right venue and identify the overall cost for your event as most vendors charge for their services on a per-person basis.
4. Consider venue capacity
The size of your venue will depend on the number of your guests. A smaller amount of guests will allow you to access a larger venue selection. The more guests you have, the bigger the venue you would need and it will likely limit your available options. Large venues also need more wedding venue management and that will increase your overall event cost. Basing your venue selection on the size can make the search a lot easier. It is advisable to book a venue for your wedding in advance.
5. Check your schedule
Wedding venues are usually booked months (sometimes years) in advance and they are usually fully booked during wedding season. The Wedding Venue Management knows that every weekend during high season needs to be booked in order to generate enough revenues for the event space to be profitable. With that in mind, make sure you coordinate with your wedding planner and the wedding venue with regards to booking reservations and your event schedule.
6. Review the services included
Are you looking for a venue where all the other services like food, lights, wedding venue management and other utilities are included? Or do you intend to just rent the place itself? Knowing what kinds of services you need can help you find the wedding venue for rent in Los Angeles and Orange County that better satisfies your needs.
7. Think about the logistics
Is the place accessible for everyone? Are your out-of-town guests staying at a hotel that is close enough or driving from the airport? Will there be enough parking space? Will you have a hard time going around with your long gown? Are there enough restrooms to accommodate your total guest count? Visit the venue and be observant. Considering the logistics can be a deal maker or breaker when choosing a place.
8. Listen to your gut feeling
Seemingly perfect venue but your gut tells you otherwise? Listen to your gut and do not settle. It might seem superficial, but if you feel like something is wrong, then likely there really is something not right. Do not be afraid to search for a new one and feel free to listen to our advice as no one knows our venues better than our venue matchmakers at Piovra Group.
