If someone were to ask what the hardest thing about planning a wedding was, what would you tell them? For most people, it's picking a location. Especially because just about everywhere that's big enough to hold a full wedding party books months or even years in advance!
That's why it's a good idea to start thinking about where you want to have the wedding as soon as you decide you're getting married. If you're planning on getting married in a church, be sure to speak to the pastor well ahead of time. For another location, however, you're probably going to have to do some scouting to find
one that's going to suit you.
I always recommend my brides (and grooms) look for five things when choosing a location:
1) Find a spot that will host the reception too. That way no one has to travel, pictures don't become a hassle and everyone's happy.
2) Make sure it's not too far out of town. You don't want your wedding party to get lost en route.
3) The owner should allow you to rehearse and set up the day before, so you're not cramming everything in the day of the wedding.
4) There needs to be a kitchen. And bathrooms.
5) Find someplace pretty! This is going to be your big moment. The last thing you want is to remember that your wedding was marked by eau du garbage dump and the captivating sight of mud and burned down fields.
Remember, you're (probably) only doing this once. It's important to make sure you're creating the memory of a lifetime, not a memory you're going to spend a lifetime trying to forget!
