Venue Choices For A Wedding Reception Ohio

By Jordan Schmidt


Couples look forward with great anticipation to that special day. They are getting married and having a wonderful wedding reception Ohio. But, oh, where to have it. There are many choices depending upon where and how they want to greet their family and guests. They want plenty to eat and drink, a grand cake, a place for music and dancing, and of course there are the inevitable speeches. Selecting the right venue is an important pre-ceremony task. It must be done with care.

When the hunt is on, at the top of the list for spring and summer weddings are local gardens or someone's glorious back yard. It could even be yours. You will love the flowers and foliage in the background. They are decor in and for themselves and you won't have to add much else. Price may be a factor, but it will be a most memorable setting and well worth the monetary outlay.

Every couple imagines that special day - the flowers, the lighting, the decor. The bride should shine in a beautiful space, recreated to highlight her personal gifts. An exterior space just might fill the bill such as local gardens, or someone's glorious back yard - if not your own. The flowers and foliage will be the best decorations money can buy. A spring or summer wedding begs to be outdoors, making this an often picked and popular venue.

Restaurants and hotels are an obvious source of a reception space but are usually quite expensive. An alternative in winter for a larger venue is a local community center or town hall. You can rent rooms of varying sizes. Most municipal buildings have meeting rooms that can be adapted. As some rooms are plain and unadorned without nice ceiling fixtures, you will want to check each one in person. But remember, there is a lot you can do with flowers and fabric to spruce up a plain space.

You can look at local educational institutions as a possibility for the reception. Most have large halls or meeting rooms suitable for a gathering. They usually have lovely chapels for the ceremony, making them a one stop wedding shop. Convenience is a definite plus, especially for the harried bride and groom. If the college happens to be the one attended by the couple, so much the better.

A novel idea is to use the open area of an art gallery. This is a sophisticated option--quite classy over all. The artwork on the walls will be a nice complement to the festivities. People will praise the innovative and chic choice. The art does lend a certain tone, however, that you will have to follow with the table decor.

Their catering facilities are ample and can match any taste and theme. You can bring the cake in if you like or use their resident baker. In winter, you must be indoors, so try to find an inviting, warm, and cozy space.

For something really different, see if there is a unique mansion or castle in your area. Now this would be really different to be sure. An unusual setting makes for a romantic and memorable day. A castle will certain make the bride feel like a princess and the guests her attendants. Choosing the perfect venue takes time and effort, so give it its due and you will have a very special day.
