One of the first decisions you’ll make with the person you’re going to marry is where to hold your wedding ceremony and reception. When you begin making plans, there are a few tips to keep in mind to stay within your budget and still have plenty of room to invite everyone you want to attend. Making a guest list is one of the first steps in determining which Chicago wedding venues to consider.
Adding Your Own Style
When you begin looking at Chicago wedding venues, think about the style you desire and the details you wish to incorporate. If you want a traditional wedding, then a church might be a good option. However, if you want to have a little fun at the ceremony, then you might consider an outdoor venue or one that offers an open layout that you can decorate as you like. Try to blend the venue with the story that you share with your partner, such as holding your wedding at a favorite attraction or even at the location where you got engaged.
Visit the Venue
Take a tour of wedding venues that you’re interested in so that you can get a better idea of how to arrange everything. Avoid booking the first venue you see, because you might later find something else that you like better. However, you do need to reserve the venue as soon as possible, especially if you’re getting married in one of the most popular wedding months: June, August, September or October. Ask the owner of the venue how past weddings have been handled, from setting up before to cleaning up after the event.
