When choosing a wedding venue, what are the main things you look for? Location? Capacity? Price? Maybe it’s the design and general ‘feel’ of the venue? Whatever it may be, here is a small guide to help you choose the perfect wedding venue!
Perhaps the biggest factor to consider is your budget. More specifically, what you can get within your budget. Set your budget, and find all the relevant venues that suit it. Don’t worry if your budget is low – plenty of beautiful wedding venues are not overly expensive, and if an intimate wedding venue is what you’re looking for, then they are more likely to suit a low budget.

Which leads on to the next factor; capacity. Have you decided on your invite list yet? If you have rough idea of how many people are going to be at your wedding, finding a venue that will correctly accommodate the amount of people going is crucial! You don’t want a venue too small for a large group as it might mean it can feel overcrowded, whereas a large venue for a smaller group may feel a bit impersonal.
Here at The Biscuit Factory, we have wedding packages to suit every budget and wedding party size – and can tailor packages to suit you perfectly.
Have you got a theme for your wedding? Or do you just feel like you want your wedding venue to reflect the personalities of you and your partner? Whilst there are so many gorgeous wedding venues to choose from, you’ll find that very few will feel like the perfect one, and you’ll want to ensure that you feel completely happy with your choice.
Consider your wedding style; bohemian or rustic? Indoor or outdoor? Modern or traditional? Perhaps you’re getting married at Christmas or the height of summer and a wedding venue that matches the season! Whatever your choice, make sure you choose a venue that feels right for you, and whether or not you can truly envisage your special day being held there.
For more of a practical approach, perhaps considering things like location, food options and schedule. Location is important because you have to consider logistics; can people get there to and from the venue easily? Is there an option to stay over? If you’re having a traditional wedding, are you wanting to get married in your hometown?
If you get married with us here at The Biscuit Factory, our central Newcastle location eliminates worries about travel; we’re extremely easy to get too and surrounded by hotels and Airbnb’s. If you’re considering getting married with us, one such Airbnb we would recommend is YourLofts.com; they’re super close to our location and have a number of stunning luxury appointments on offer.
Food options are also important when you consider dietary requirements. Do any of your guests have allergies or intolerances? It might best to get an idea of this in advance and make preparations accordingly. Furthermore; do you want a buffet or a more formal, sit-down meal? The latter option tends to be more popular however buffets are an easy and, often times, more budget friendly.
Lastly, does your venue suit your planned schedule? Perhaps you’re getting married on a morning and want to include a wedding venue for guests, or a weekday and want to make the after party more of a priority. Whatever it is, make sure your venue accommodates your perfectly planned day!
