Congratulations on your engagement! If you’re reading this, you probably just recently got engaged and now you’re ready to start the wedding planning process!
Choosing a venue is usually the first and top priority for many couples. With so many wedding venues available, deciding which is right for you can be hard.
Keep reading to learn more about the advantages of choosing a venue where you can hold both your wedding ceremony and your reception!
Easy Planning
Wedding planning is stressful enough, but by choosing one venue, you can easily lift some weight from your shoulders!
You’ll find that it’s easier to coordinate with your vendors when both you AND them only have to worry about one location for set-up for your food, decor, entertainment, etc.!
Since you’re at one location, you’ll be able to create a better flow for everyone. Wedding venues that allow for both ceremony and reception are professionals in flipping the space seamlessly and with no hassle, all you and your guests have to do is enjoy cocktail hour, and not worry about your timeline running behind!
Not only will there be a better flow, but you’ll be able to better visualize your entire wedding day. By choosing one location, you’ll have a better idea of the aesthetics of your wedding, and decorations are easier to visualize for one instead of two separate locations.
Cost Savings
Not only is wedding planning stressful, but it can get costly! Why not save where you can, while still having the wedding of your dreams?
By choosing one location, you’ll be saving on decorations by easily re-purposing them. Your ceremony arch could double as your sweetheart table backdrop!
Eliminate additional transportation costs! Whether that may be the shuttle bus that takes you and your wedding party from ceremony to reception location, or helping your out-of-town guests save on additional Uber/Lyft trips! Either way, it’s a win-win!
Expect additional cost savings at the venue itself. Typically, you’ll find that venues that offer both ceremony and reception have some sort of bundle deal! That means no separate rental fees that you might have to pay if you decide on separate locations!
Convenience
Not only is choosing one location convenient for you and your wedding planning process, it’s also convenient for your guests! And one thing about a wedding and guests, you want to keep them happy to keep you happy!
You’re saving both you and your guests from having to accommodate for extra travel time between ceremony and reception. Even saving your out-of-town guests from getting lost trying to find the reception location!
Not only that, but you’re guaranteed a high attendance because no one is having to choose one location over the other. With one location for the ceremony and reception, your guests are already there and will have no reason to leave!
Because your guests aren’t having to leave, it’s easier to keep the energy and spirits high! You don’t want to kill the mood by having to go to a second location!
