Couples getting married want everything to be perfect for their big day, from the wedding venue to the catering to the flowers and the reception venue. It can take a lot of planning to minimize the chances of anything going wrong. Once the wedding venue and the number of guests are settled, it’s time to find just the right Reception Hall in Council Bluffs IA.
The number of guests makes a big difference in which of the many options for a Reception Hall in Council Bluffs IA would work best. Try to visit the main contenders when they’ve been set up for weddings of similar size to see how much space there is once they’ve been filled with tables, chairs and other necessities for a reception. A room that is too small and crowded won’t leave much room for dancing, and one that is too large for the number of guests will also be problematic.
Make sure the reception venue under consideration won’t conflict with the theme or colors of the wedding. Although it may not be possible to find a location decorated with the same colors used in the wedding, at least make sure the colors and materials used don’t interfere with the look the bride and groom are going for. Some locations also don’t go well with some themes, for example, a very formal reception location doesn’t match well with an informal garden wedding.
Check what the venue allows. In some cases, certain caterers must be used, and outside food and drink can’t be brought in. The wedding party may have to rent the tables, chairs, and other necessary items if the venue doesn’t provide them, and some locations may not allow alcohol.
Make sure the necessary amenities are all present. The venue should have plenty of parking, good acoustics, a sufficient number of outlets and plenty of lighting. Ask whether other events will be going on at the same time as the reception and whether there will be anyone to keep uninvited guests out of the location if this might be a problem. It’s also nice if the venue has a good view or some special features that will help enhance the look and feel of the reception. Browse our website to get an idea of some potential venues available.
