The Dos and Don’ts for picking wedding venues

Posted on August 20, 2021November 29, 2022 by noah

Selecting the right wedding venue determines the outcome of your big day. Choosing the perfect venue, however, is often a daunting task for many to be couples. This is because one is trying to balance logistics, financial constraints whilst hoping to keep everyone happy.

When going through wedding packages in Kenya, the venue should garner the most importance. Here are a few dos and don’ts on how to go about it.

Do your research

While you may have your heart set on a specific location for your dream wedding, it’s always a good idea to shop around and pre-select a few venues to see which one best meets your demands.

A property may appear to be the ideal location at first glance, but upon deeper inspection, you may discover that it lacks some of the key features you seek in a venue.

Bring your partner on the venue tour

Mutual understanding before choosing a wedding venue is key. Both of you should embrace the venue as your ideal spot before moving on with further plans.

One of the first things to consider is whether the venue will be able to accommodate all the fun activities you plan to indulge in.

Don’t make any assumptions

A perfect wedding can only be pulled by ensuring all the fine details are well covered. Making assumptions might cost you a big deal on the D-day. Enquire about all the fine details before committing.

Many wedding packages in Kenya provide other extra services like dining, banquet or photography at an extra cost. Getting such details earlier will aid you to prepare better.

Don’t be afraid to negotiate

You can discuss how various components of your wedding will be handled depending on your destination. If you hire a private venue, you’ll have a far better chance of getting a good bargain on your vendors, wait staff, musicians, and other services.

While at it, don’t forget to have your guests in mind. Just like you, they also need to have a good time to make the day memorable.

Budget accommodation in Naivasha has made the town become a leading wedding destination in Kenya. A huge chunk of wedding packages in Kenya will have Naivasha in its rosters.
