Wedding reception venues near me!
So, how do you pick you perfect wedding venue? Should it be a venue which can incorporate your wedding ceremony? Will you be travelling separately to your wedding venue from a church? How far should you be travelling from where the bridal party is getting ready to the venue?
It’s difficult isn’t it? Making a decision like this? Obviously, cost usually has a large factor in which venue you should choose. However, there are so many different decisions to make. Bizarrely, I remember thinking from my own wedding preparations that I wanted a venue where the lighting was good.
Many venues now have really worked out a couples requirements. They will generally tailor make a package to suit your requirement for the day. They will factor in food, drink, any extra details you may wish to have such as flowers on the table. A lot of venues also have their own preferred suppliers for lighting, wedding cakes, toastmasters, photo booths and florists as they work so well together.
Wedding Reception at a beautiful venue
When I got married well over 20 years ago, I don’t remember seeing converted barns and venues that could incorporate a wedding ceremony. Just recently, I photographed a wedding that was at a golf and country club in Hampshire which was extremely well run and the bride and groom went whizzing off on a golf cart past golfers!!
As a photographer based in the New Forest, we have hotels that specialise in wedding receptions such as Rhinefield House and Burley Manor. However, there is a small wedding venue not so far from me called The Old Vicarage that is based just out of the New Forest and into Christchurch and they have some stunningly beautiful gardens.
However, my only advice that I can give is to go for what makes you feel comfortable as a couple. Wedding suppliers will work around your requirements and the venue will accommodate everything you would like to have for your special day. As for the lighting - well any good photographer …. ahem - me, will work around that to ensure that you have photos that you love and will want to look back on.
