By now you have already made that lifelong commitment and are well into planning your special day with your loved one. One significant event that takes place with almost all weddings is the reception / party / wedding celebration. You may not think it but aswell as celebrating your wedding a number of people hold wedding receptions as a thank you to all their friends and family for taking part in the their occasion and also for helping out in any which way that they can. A wedding reception can be a large function and takes in some cases almost a year to prepare for and a lot of time can be spent on trying to find the right venue.

Take this advice as gospel and beware if you are preparing for a wedding reception you need to have a booked a venue by now as most popular venues even smaller venues a booked up a year in advance. If you haven’t found anything yet then now is the time to start scouring the venues in the city of your choice that will also fit your budget and needs. Really think about your budget and your needs as things could really spiral out of control and you could easily spend a lot of money. Here are few things for you mull over that should get you started:

– How many people are you going to invite?
– Will you be having a free bar?
– Who is going to take care of catering?
– Who will be taking care of the decor?

Let’s take point four and discuss this a little more in depth. So by this point you should have your venue booked for your special day but you need to decorate the venue with all sorts of wedding accessories, table cloths, centrepieces etc. Well there are some options you could hire an event management company to take care of everything or you could depending on your budget restraints opt to do it yourself. Opting to do it yourself in most cases is a good idea as you will have more control over cost, items purchased and other aspects of the wedding reception costs. For example finding a venue that lets you supply your alcohol might be an idea as then you can scour supermarkets and other retail stores and find your own bargains as venue bar charges are normally quite high.

Hopefully by now you have the venue you want and are now planning well ahead for everything you want on the day not just for you but for your guests to enjoy aswell. The aim should be to make it a memorable moment for everyone especially you the happy couple and there are so many ideas to make it unique like having a chocolate fountain or having the brides wedding accessories as the theme for the reception. One particularly good idea for a wedding reception if the venue allows it is to have a professional fireworks show just outside the party venue.
