The type of reception venue you choose will depend on whether you are getting married in church, register office or in one of the many approved buildings licensed for civil weddings.

Your next considerations could be whether it suits the style or theme of your wedding; its proximity to your church or register office; the number of guests you wish to invite and finally, but most importantly, your budget.

You may have in mind the kind of affair you would like, but if its not financially possible, forget it. It really isnt worth the worry.Whether you decide to hold your reception in a hotel, stately home, hall, pub, restaurant, racecourse or on a river cruiser, you must book well in advance, especially if its to be on a Saturday in the summer. If you have set your heart on a particular venue, but the Saturday is booked, consider a weekday or Sunday wedding, it could work out considerably cheaper too.Make sure your chosen venue suits all your requirements: car parking, cloakrooms, special arrangements for small children, wheelchair access.

Plus, find out how late they can serve drinks and play music. You may also need an attractive location for photographs, particularly if one was not available at your church or register office.Wherever you choose, always check exactly whats included in the price.

If its a "package deal" with other services included, such as flowers and entertainment, are you committed to use those services, or will it be flexible to your needs? Are there any additional costs such as service charges, VAT, a "corkage" charge if you buy your own wines?Always confirm your booking in writing with as much detail as possible and get a receipt for deposits and the date to settle the bill.It is a good idea to ask someone to visit the venue on the morning of your wedding to check that all your arrangements have been carried out.

Today's tip of the day-naming tables

Instead of numbering the tables, give each table a particular theme, especially if the reception is being held outdoors. Go with flower names for each table..rose, lillies...you get the idea. Or name each table with a place you and your fiance have visited....instead of the names though, place pictures, so guests can feel more involved in the decor.
