Choosing a Venue for a Wedding Reception in Georgia
In addition to considering your personal taste and your budget, you also need to take into account a number of core factors. In particular, when planning a wedding reception, Atlanta couples need to think about the number of guests, amenities such as on-site caterers or bartenders, and location. If all of those elements line up, it’s time to see if the venue is available when you need it.
Essential Questions to Ask When Choosing Wedding Reception Venues in Georgia
If the venue has ample space for everyone on your guest list, you can start investigating the other elements of planning a reception. If the venue has a culinary team on staff, you should schedule a sit-down to talk about your dining options. Alternatively, you need to know if you can bring in your own catering crew and what kitchen essentials they can access while on site. Of course, you need to repeat these steps for the bar and plan accordingly.
Then, you need to plan things such as tables, chairs, and linens. Namely, does the site have them, or do you need to rent them from another company? In some cases, particularly if you are booking a reception in an outdoor venue, you may need to arrange restrooms or other essentials for your guests.
Touring Venues for a Wedding Reception in Georgia

In some cases, the pictures may oversell the venue, but in other cases, they may not represent the full beauty of he venue. Ideally, you need to see it for yourself.
