location and the rings

Obviously one of the most important decisions to make when planning a wedding is where to have it and why. we both like the idea of having it in SJ's village church because that would make it really romantic and tradition and then we need to just think about where to have the reception. but we do have other ideas about locations to talk about as well.

SJ found three sets of rings to choose from so we will do that soon when she gets her internet back and can show me them and all in all were both really excited already about our big day and we know it will be perfect and that we will remember it forever it will be one of the best days of our lives.

Questions for When Looking for Wedding Venues for Both Ceremony and Reception

•Do they own enough chairs for the ceremony, or will they need to be rented?

•Does the wedding venue have an entirely separate area for the ceremony? {It is not uncommon that while the guests are at the cocktail hour, the caterers will transform the ceremony room into the dining room and/or dance floor.)

•If not, how long does it typically take for the staff to change over the room?

Questions to ask yourself when deciding on a wedding venue

•What's the decor like? Does it fit your style and wedding colors? Will you have to spend a lot of money on flowers and decorations to make it beautiful?

•Do they have an in-house caterer, and do you like that food? (While an in-house caterer can be easier and cheaper, sometimes the food is not as beautiful as the room. So make sure you taste it!) Do they have a limitation on which outside caterers you can use?

•Do they have adequate coat check and bathroom facilities?

•Is the wedding venue wheelchair accessible? If not, are there many stairs to climb? How close is the parking to the ceremony and reception rooms?
•What's the cancellation policy?

•Is there a payment schedule? What kind of deposits are required?

•Are there any hidden costs? (Before you sign the contract, read it carefully.)

•What are the overtime charges?

•Do they have a liquor license?

•Will they allow you to bring your own liquor? (This is usually cheaper, even with the customary corkage fee.)

•Is there room in the wedding venue for a band and/or dancing?

•Does the wedding venue already own a sound system with adequate speakers or will that need to be rented?

•Is there a space for the bride and groom to change and/or relax?

•Where will you take photographs? Is there a park nearby, or do the coordinators have recommended spots on the grounds?

•Who will be supervising and troubleshooting before the day of your wedding? Who will be supervising and troubleshooting on the day of your wedding? Can you meet them now?

•Where can your guests park? Are there extra fees for parking? Do they have valet parking?

•Is the wedding venue convenient to public transportation, especially in big cities? How long will it take your guests to get there?
•Especially in museums or private clubs, are there limitations on decorations? Do they limit food and drinks to only certain areas of the wedding venue?

•Are candles or other open flames allowed?
