When you got engaged, you may have talked with your partner about a potential wedding ceremony and reception. Skipping the ceremony and reception may have been your top choice, but both of your families may be interested in at least having a ceremony to partake in. As a result, you may be willing to have a ceremony on its own to make sure everyone is happy.

Finding a wedding venue will come with different needs compared to those planning a traditional wedding because there will not be a reception and you may not intend on having many guests.

Ceremony Only

If you look around at some wedding venues, you may find a large selection that offer wedding ceremony and reception packages. Paying for one of these packages and skipping the reception will lead to excessive costs. So, you want to find a venue that can accommodate a ceremony only.

Comfortable

Since you will not be spending much money on the wedding, you should do everything you can to make sure all your guests are comfortable when sitting down. This means that you should prioritize venues that have their own chairs. Going for an indoor wedding venue will allow the chairs to have comfortable padding, as opposed to outdoor chairs that need weather resistance.

Picturesque

Another factor that you will want to consider is the beauty of your wedding. In a standard wedding, you will have numerous opportunities for picturesque photos during the ceremony and reception. Also, the reception is often heavily decorated to meet your specific needs. This means you should consider looking around until you find a stunning wedding venue for the ceremony.

You may even want to go as far as looking for a venue with a lovely powder room. This will guarantee that the photos taken while you are making finishing touches look incredible.

Close to Home

If you live close to most of your family, you may want to consider avoiding wedding venues that are far away. Since you will only be having a ceremony that lasts an hour or two, there is no reason to require your guests to travel a long distance just to be a part of the ceremony.

But, you should also be more than satisfied with the venue that you choose, so you will want to strike a balance between finding one that you love while also being close to home.

When you intend on only having a wedding ceremony, you should pay attention to some unique details while looking at venues to ensure that you and your guests have a great experience. For more information about event rental services, contact a professional.
