Once you book your wedding venue, so many other elements of your wedding will start falling into place. Your venue will often give you a list of available dates to choose from. Sometimes venues even have lists of caterers and entertainers that are commonly used in a certain space. Taking care of the big choices first is an excellent way to start your wedding planning. You can get the biggest stressors out of the way quickly and make more time for focusing on minute details later. When choosing a venue, make sure that you have an idea of how many people will be attending and how much room you have in your budget.
