There is a lot to do when it comes to wedding planning. The most important thing is picking your wedding venue. You will take wedding photos there, make memories of a lifetime there and start your big day there. How do you make this crucial decision? We have got a guide to picking the perfect wedding venue in Toronto for you and your future spouse!
Your budget
Are you in search of the perfect Toronto wedding venues? Before you begin your search, it is important to set a realistic budget. Decide how much you want to spend on the venue, catering, cake, beverages, floral arrangements, videographer, dress and other related items.
Breaking down your budget items can help you plan your big day without making costly mistakes or feeling overwhelmed. Good luck with your venue search!
Number of guests
In order to select your perfect wedding location, you will need an estimate of how many guests you plan to invite so you can choose a space that can seat 40-75 guests, more than 100 guests if you are having a large wedding or a tiny, intimate space for the micro wedding.
Ensure that the number of people you would like to invite is feasible by scribbling down the names prior to settling on a 65-guest wedding. All of a sudden 65 becomes 115 or 30, and your venue hunt is totally different.
If there is someone you would absolutely love to have there on your special day, no matter if they are a co-worker, neighbor, friend or family member, consider who you would love to have with you.
Availability of the venue
You need to put availability at the top of your list once you start shortlisting venues. Make sure you are realistic about the dates. More options you have, the more flexible you can be. You can start by narrowing down your options to a couple of months in a year and saying Saturday is what you want.
Weekly weddings are definitely on the rise and we love them. First of all, it saves you money and weekends are seen a lot differently than they used to be. Your loved ones will come on any day if they are really interested in your wedding.
Your preferred style
It’s important that your venue matches how you envision your special day. If you are looking for a fairytale style, you could choose a castle, estate or mansion while if you are looking for an ultramodern wedding, consider a renovated factory.
A country-style barn or a lakeside resort is a perfect choice for those who want a rustic wedding. Alternatively, if you are more of a city person there are plenty of urban settings where you can tie the knot.
The surrounding area
You as a couple have the freedom to choose the location of your wedding whether it be in the business district of Toronto or out in the country. Nevertheless, you will need to narrow down the areas before deciding on which venue is best suited to your needs.
Accommodation
A venue that has onsite accommodations is a must if you are going to have a majority of guests who are not from the area. Many wedding venues in Toronto offer a wonderful choice of accommodations for your lovely guests, from boutique hotels to outdoor camping grounds, to make your big day even more special.
Venue visits
In addition to giving you a sense of the place and giving you a better idea of the size and scale of the place, a visit will also give you a chance to meet the people who will be putting on your big day.
When you are able to visit a venue more than once, we recommend that you do so, once during a wedding fair or event and again during a consultation if you are close by. The venue is set up in a way that allows you to really imagine what your event will look like, even if it is not to your taste.
Offers and deals
Getting married is expensive but it is also part of a very competitive industry. Therefore, if you can save money and you can negotiate a deal with the venue, it might be worth trying.
The bridal suite may be really available at the price quote offered at some venues and lower-cost rooms may be available at others for your out-of-town guests. You could even be able to receive some free appetizers and drinks. A small detail can make a big difference to your budget.
That is all we managed to get. You can include other items on your personalized list if they are on your priority list. Now that you know how to locate the ideal setting, begin looking for the best wedding venues in Toronto. We wish you have the most gorgeous wedding ever!
