Tips For Choosing The Ideal Space For Your Wedding Party

After saying yes to the marriage proposal, the brides start a real race against time to get all the details of the party and ceremony right. But, the first item to be decided should be the space where the celebration will be held. Only then will it be possible to choose the decoration, buffet, number of guests, etc.

The beauty and sophistication of a place is not the only factor to be considered at the time of decision. Marriage advisor Jane Alves warns of the importance of research. Researching is important for comparing the proposed services. Knowing what sites offer and how much they charge for it provides security when negotiating with the chosen vendor.


Even with a range of options at hand, to choose the ideal space from the most suitable alternatives to taste and budget, the couple needs to follow some recommendations. Check out 8 tips for choosing the right space for your wedding:

1 ? Business license is a basic prerequisite. Without the license of regulators event spaces cannot function. Therefore, the first action of the couple must be to know about the legality of the space.

2 ? You have to think about the welfare of the guests. Emergency items such as exits, fire extinguishers and electric generators are essential. If the space chosen for the wedding does not have a generator, it is possible to rent it from specialized companies. But if the venue has the equipment, "you have to ask if it will be available for use and how (full or standby) and if there will be any additional cost to use it," advises the marriage advisor.


3 ? Know the capacity of the venue before choosing it. It is important to be able to accommodate all sitting guests for the necessary hours, such as for dinner or for the reception of the bride and groom, for example.

4 ? Find out if the place is air conditioned. In a place where there will be concentration of people, it is important to have air circulation and this equipment acts in this aspect. Also, if the wedding date is hot, this is the alternative to softening the temperature.

5 ? The safety of the guests deserves priority attention. It is important that the wedding party is well located, has parking so that guests do not have to leave cars on the street at the mercy of miscreants and, of course, that the entry and exit of people is monitored through a list. Some spaces offer security support staff, receptionist, nurse, firefighter, etc. Make sure the location you choose has this advantage.


6 ? Playing national music at unauthorized parties may characterize a crime provided by the law that regulates copyright, which is in the Brazilian Federal Constitution. To perform Brazilian songs in any type of event, do I have to pay a fee to ECAD? Central Office of Collection and Distribution, which is the company responsible for transferring to the title associations what is collected from those who use their works in some activity. Not all spaces pay for ECAD. When they pay, the amount is charged to the bride and groom. If the space of interest did not mention the subject, it certainly does not make the payment. Is it important to question before signing the contract? Warns Jane.

7 ? The professionals responsible for eternalizing the memory of the party deserve a support room. Also consider the comfort and well-being of photographers and wedding advisers. Choose a space with a room dedicated to these professionals.

8 ? Seek a wedding advisor or specialist firm to help you choose the right venue and all the other details. When asked if any clients have ever been disappointed with their choice of venue, Jane Alves says with conviction, "No, the couples I advise are advised to be careful about hiring the space."

Annotated tips? Now you know how to choose the right place for your wedding. Once you have made the right decision, be aware of contractual issues. ? Everything that was negotiated must be in the contract. It should also not be forgotten that many spaces have internal regulations and non-compliance with these regulations imposes a fine on the contractor. The couple needs to have a copy of this policy and pass it on to other professionals hired for the wedding ?, concludes marriage advisor Jane Alves.
