Location of your venue comes next. Your guests will be arriving from different parts of the city, state or country so you have to check for accessibility. If it’s a local wedding, the location should have ample space for all your big and small events. Above that, there should be good enough parking space and can also house your outstation guests. If that’s not possible, check for good hotels nearby the venue.

Once you’ve short-listed a number of venues which fit most of your bill, it’s time to get diggin’! Just like restaurants and hotels have reviews, banquet halls and wedding venues have reviews too (duh!). And most of these reviews are genuine and you can count on them.

Now that you have researched about the venue, checked with the guest list and it fits your budget, is the venue available on your wedding date? Most of the banquet hall in Chandigarh and wedding venues are pre-booked during the wedding season (again, duh!). This is India! If parents can make their kids reach the airport for 3 hours in advance, then venues can be booked 3-4 or even 6 months in advance too. So, once you have narrowed down your venue, do check for availability on your wedding date and book it, in advance.

No Outside Caterer allowed!

Hold up, guys! While you might have planned something exotic for your wedding feast, there’s a good chance the venue might not be able to provide that. Even so, some venues don’t allow outside caterers and instead suggest their own service. This can easily unsettle your budget. The same is applicable to decor, so confirm if the venue is all-inclusive. You’ll have to make sure the venue is offering all the service within your budget and if the pricing includes catering, decoration, flowers, lighting, music, videography and other vendors you need.
