In order to have all the information you'll need to compare like with like when selection reception venues, in addition the "Big 5" decisions, ask yourself the following questions:
- If at a seperate location, how far is the reception venue from the ceremony venue and how accessible is it?
- Will you require a pre-lunch or pre-dinner drinks reception?
- Will the main celebration be a cocktail and canapé reception, a lunch, a tea, a buffet style meal or a formal dinner?
- Will all your guests attend the ceremony and reception, or will a number be invited later in the day?
- If extra guests will attend later in the day or evening, will you provide food? (if planning a late afternoon ceremony followed by a sit-down meal you may not have the flexibility to do this).
- Will there be dancing?
- Do you require a venue with a seperate area for a drinks reception and/or for dancing?
- Will your guests be required to pay for alcoholic drinks after the wedding dinner?
- Do you want to stay at the venue on your wedding night?
- Will a significant number of guests require accommodation at or near the venue?
- Do you need a venue within easy reach of public transport?
- Will a significant number of children be attending the wedding?
- If you set your heart on a venue, but it can't accommodate your guest numbers, how flexible is your guest list?
