What to Look for in a Wedding Venue
Whether it’s the bright lights of an urban background or the quiet ambiance of a sprawling garden, choosing the location and venue of your upcoming nuptials will be at the top of your wedding to-do list. If you’re newly engaged, you’ve already asked where are we going to celebrate our wedding? Before you can think of selecting a wedding venue, you need to know the type of details to look for in a wedding site.
Guest List. How many people are anticipated? It's essential to come up with a strong estimate of your guest list early on in order to plan your budget and select the right ceremony/ reception spot. A confirmed guest count is typically required 1-2 weeks before the event.
Size and Symmetry. Make sure your venue can adjust the size and symmetry of the rooms to fit the guest list. If you have ever been to a crowded ballroom then you can appreciate this. Many venues have different sized rooms available for rent. On the flip side, an overly large room with not enough guests can be fitted with a divider wall to make the room feel more comfortable. Embassy Suites by Hilton Rockford Riverfront and Rockford Conference Center can accommodate both small and large weddings with different room options.
The Menu. There are many ways to showcase your personality on the big day, and often couples decide their personality will come through in the menu choices. If given enough time, the Embassy Suites by Hilton Rockford Riverfront will help create a menu that reflect you. Do they offer vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free? It is almost certain that one of your guests will ask for these menu options.
Guests Accommodations. Most couples consider the reception hall when they visit possible venues. But what about accommodations for overnight guests? Will the site have enough rooms to host your out of town guests? Are there other activities for guests to participate in around the wedding festivities? Encourage your out-of-town guests to explore local attractions. The Embassy Suites by Hilton Rockford Riverfront is located in Rockford’s Main Street District, close to numerous restaurants, pubs and shopping options. Before or after your big day, your relatives may want visit local attractions like the Anderson Japanese Gardens or UW Health Sports Factory
Pinterest Ready. Pinterest creativity has exploded with everything involved in a wedding. Many couples look to see if the venue will fit their Pinterest visions. For example, take desserts. With the array of imagery out there, a bride can see an image of a wedding cake, bring it to her bakery and say, “I want this.” Most bakeries will accommodate a Pinterest request.
