How to Choose the Ideal Wedding Venue

When planning a wedding, one of the first steps is choosing the perfect venue. Sometimes the couple already has their dream location in mind, but they may need to make compromises regarding guest numbers or other practicalities. If you haven’t yet chosen a venue, here are some helpful tips before making your final decision.

Guest count

Be sure to choose your wedding venue based on the approximate number of guests you plan to invite. If there isn’t enough space for seating or dancing, guests are likely to feel cramped, and the overall mood of the celebration can suffer. Remember that indoor spaces can become hot and stuffy with larger crowds, especially once dancing begins — conditions that can quickly diminish the fun

Accommodation options

If you’re planning a celebration that may stretch into the early morning hours, it’s worth considering how many guests might want to stay overnight and whether the venue can accommodate that. Manor houses, barns, and backyard venues often lack sufficient beds. In such cases, you could arrange transport to nearby accommodation – for example, hire a minibus and driver to shuttle guests. If you’re hosting a tent wedding, you might also explore glamping tents, which provide comfy and warm sleeping options right on site.

Location and Accessibility

Most guests arrive by car, so it’s essential to choose a venue with easy access and ample parking. If the ceremony and reception are in different locations, consider arranging parking at both sites — perhaps on a nearby field (with the landowner’s permission). The parking area should be close enough so guests don’t have to walk too far, but placed in a way that doesn’t disturb the venue’s romantic ambiance.

Technical Facilities

Think about whether your chosen venue can support practical needs such as a band or catering services. For example, check whether there is sufficient electrical capacity and space for equipment. If there are limited or no restrooms, you might need to rent outdoor toilets to ensure comfort throughout the celebration.

Book early

Popular venues — especially during the peak summer season — are often booked at least a year in advance. Even if you’re planning a celebration in your own country house or garden, it’s a good idea to book early. This goes for sailcloth tents as well, as early reservations often result in better availability and pricing. However, if you’re searching closer to your date, don’t hesitate to check if a Comfy Events sailcloth tent is still available — you might get lucky!
