Step 1 : Define your priorities

Before you start researching venues, it’s essential to clarify your must-haves. Here are the key factors to consider

• Guest Capacity : ensure the venue can comfortably accommodate your guest list, whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration.

• Style & Atmosphere : do you envision an elegant château, a rustic vineyard, or a romantic garden setting? Provence offers stunning backdrops to match any wedding style.

• Location & Accessibility : consider how easy it is for guests to travel to the venue. Is it near a major airport or train station? Does it offer transport options such as shuttle services?

• Budget : set a clear budget and check what is included in the venue hire (furniture, lighting, catering options, etc.). Sometimes, a venue that seems out of reach may actually be affordable with the right package. Don’t hesitate to ask!

• Accommodation : if your guests are travelling from abroad, it’s crucial to ensure nearby accommodation options, whether on-site or within easy reach.

Step 2 : Create a Shortlist

Rather than overwhelming yourself with endless options, narrow your search to a shortlist of 5–6 venues.

Then, choose your top 3 to visit in person or virtually.

Use a comparison table to evaluate each venue based on the following criteria

Step 3 : Ask the Right Questions During Your Venue Visit

When visiting a venue (either in person or virtually), make sure to ask these key questions

Step 4 : Make Your Final Decision

Once you’ve gathered all the necessary information, it’s time to weigh your options. While you can score each venue based on your key criteria, don’t forget to trust your intuition.

Step 5 : Confirm with the Venue

Before signing the contract, schedule a follow-up call or visit with the venue manager. This is the time to discuss any final questions, clarify logistics, and ensure that every detail aligns with your vision.
