When you imagine the dream wedding what comes to your mind? What is the favorite place for the couple? With whom will this moment be shared? What will the decoration look like? What kind of music will be played?
Marriage is a unique moment and making it look like the bride and groom will make it even more special, fun and enjoyable. For this, a good place for the celebration and the ceremony is essential. According to Fernanda Floret, Fashion Design specializing in Events and Ceremonials, who has been writing the Wedding Dress Blog since 2008, a bride-and-groom wedding begins with a perfect place to marry that suits them.
Today, the options for a wedding are many: at home, on the beach, on the farm, in a restaurant, hotel, in a historic place, in the party space! With so many options, grooms need to think of some wedding details that will determine the best place to perform, such as the number of guests, the time and type of ceremony, and the value for money. The analysis of these items coupled with the style of the bride and groom is essential before closing the contract.
Check out some tips that will make your choice easier:
Number of Guests
An important detail when choosing a wedding venue is knowing how many people will be invited and how many people the venue will hold. Is it a party just for family and few friends? So choose a place that will handle the guests well without too much room left so as not to have any idea of 'emptiness'. Now if you want a large party with many guests, then opt for a large venue with spacious parking where people can get around without major limitations.
At the time of choosing you should take into consideration not only the number of guests seated, but also the bar, dance floor, stage, candy and coffee table, buffet and lounge spaces. If you choose tables and chairs for everyone, make sure they are well-distributed and with enough space for the waiters to circulate smoothly between them.
If there is ceremony on site care with the space should be redoubled. Remember that space is required for the entrance hall, altar, groomsmen, photographers and musicians.
Wedding style
Just as there are couples styles there are also wedding styles: vintage, rustic, country, fairytale, beach, cocktail, ballad. The styles are varied, but what really matters is marriage having the face of the couple. Marriage celebrates love and nothing better than doing the way the bride and groom have always dreamed! "Open your head to think not only about the obvious places of marriage," says Fernanda.
The important thing to keep in mind is that each wedding style matches a specific location and time, see below.
Wedding time
Day weddings call for a more open, open-air place with more room for guests to move in and appreciate the natural light of the sun. Getting married in the daytime can be an interesting alternative for discreet, quiet couples who need the excitement and glamor. Plus, day weddings make beautiful pictures! Some suggestions of places for a day wedding are: farm, farm, beach, a historical place.
For overnight weddings the most suitable places for reception are: ballroom, hotel, restaurant, ie a more closed and a little more formal place. The night is very conducive to the party and dance environment.
Value for money
Grooms are already worried about so many things, right ?! In addition to clothes, decor, buffet, music, cake, you don't want to worry about the Fire Department License or the Law of Silence, right? Therefore, the important thing is to look for a place that facilitates your party and that is in accordance with the law. According to Fernanda, there are some facilities that party spaces can fulfill and you should be aware of them before closing the contract.
Prefer places with:
- Easy access with well signposted and paved roads;
- Space for loading and unloading;
- Own work team (receptionists, security guards, valets, cleaning). Check if these services are already included in the amount charged;
- Own furniture? tables, chairs, sideboards, sofas. Check the condition of these parts;
- Nice outdoor space, well maintained and organized to receive guests and make photos;
- Kitchen in good condition and hygiene;
- Conserved toilets and changing facilities;
- Security: parking, location, guest control by list, cameras;
- Support room for caterers and professionals who will be involved in the wedding;
- Air conditioning, air conditioners, ventilation.
Locations must also comply with certain details set forth by law. Be aware:
- Business license;
- Fire Department Report;
- Emergency items (exits, extinguishers and electric generators);
- Compliance with Law 11,986 of 1/16/96 and Urban Silence Law? PSIU;
- Disabled access;
- Correct destination of waste produced.
Check:
Time for assembly and disassembly: Ideally, the hall should be cleared for assembly at least 6 hours before the event. The party should last from 6 to 8 hours and the disassembly happens soon after the event. Also check to see if there will be someone there to greet suppliers during the day.
Important:
Seek references from those who have already hired the venue and pay a visit when the space is decorated, so you can get a better idea of how it will look for your party. Once the decision is made it is important that what has been negotiated is in contract. Watch out for? Hidden costs? that are embedded. Also, you must inquire about the cancellation policy.
