A wedding has always been a dream that has lived in the hearts and imaginations of many little girls throughout their growing years. There are still young girls who have had their weddings planned out, even to the traditional reception hall, since before they entered high school. More recently, however, unusual wedding venues have become more popular.
These days, the norm is to search the internet for many wedding details, including, and especially, the venue where the reception will be held. It is estimated that 48% of couples will find their venue of choice through online searches. This is usually something couples will do almost as soon as they decide to marry, so that they can book the reception hall or restaurant before their chosen wedding date is no longer available. Booking the location for a wedding reception is best done between nine months and one year before the date.
Because 35% of all weddings are now held at an outdoor venue, the spring, summer, and even early fall months have become even more popular. There are many unusual wedding venues to choose from. A bride can pick a spot for her bridal shower that will offer a package deal for the shower and the wedding reception. There are many beautiful wedding places that will offer all inclusive event packages that may even include a future baby shower.
Destination weddings have become extremely popular in recent years. Fortunately, it is as simple these days to search out the best destination wedding places using the internet as it is to find local venues. A couple who would like to see some beautiful beach wedding places can research these locations even hundreds of miles away from the comfort of their own computer! Obviously, in this age of high technology, unusual wedding venues are no longer very hard to come by. If a couple living in a state where cold weather is prevalent prefers to get married in a tropical climate, but does not want to leave the country to get married, they can simply plan to have their wedding in a warmer state. There are many event places, as well as outdoor wedding venues in any location to choose from.
These days a little less than half, 40%, of couples want to find a wedding venue that reflects their own nature and individuality. Along with destination weddings the popularity of themed weddings has grown in recent years. Along with the search for unusual wedding venues, brides and grooms are choosing to inject their own personalities into the planning of their special day. There are an unlimited number of wedding halls that will cater to the preferences of the bridal couple, even helping to provide some of the details that will bring out the most dynamic expressions of the couple’s personality.
When seeking out the perfect wedding venue, couples typically find that the staff at whichever location they choose will include someone to assist them through every step of their planning process.Often people will engage a wedding planner who is in the business of walking through every detail of the wedding with them, from the beginning of their planning right through to the last guest’s departure from the reception on the wedding day. However, if a wedding planner is not part of the picture, most reception venues do offer the assistance of trained staff. They are in the business of catering for events, which includes being sure that the wedding reception is everything the customer wants it to be, and then some.
On average, planning a wedding takes between seven and twelve months, this according to statistics that say 30% of brides spend this length of time creating and preparing for their special day. In addition to researching and visiting reception venues, wedding clothes have to be decided upon, fittings have to be done, and the colors of the wedding and flowers need to be coordinated. The florist, and the photographer and videographer have to be chosen and hired as well, not to mention making a choice between a DJ and a live band. Whether the event is large or small, a couple wants their wedding to be special and unique in all the ways that mean the most to them.
