Alternative Reception Venues

alternative-reception-venues

Unless you have your heart set on marrying in a church or other religious institution, consider choosing an alternative space that can accommodate both your wedding ceremony and wedding reception. Many beautiful and elegant spaces are not typically used for weddings, but can be rented out for events. Make a list of the of museums, libraries, art galleries, and upscale restaurants in your wedding area, then call around to find out if any are open to hosting your wedding and how much they would charge for the use of the space. Don’t forget to ask about seating and catering and clean-up so you know in advance whether you’ll have to hire a caterer, rent party supplies, or do your own post-wedding cleaning. Also, remember that the size of your ceremony and reception venue will dictate the size of your guest list, so if you want to have 200 guests, cross little galleries and restaurants off your list of potential venues.
