But First… A Few Tips!
When Scouting for Saratoga Springs Wedding Venues…
Use the links in this list to visit the venue websites and see what appeals to you. Don’t spend too much time digging for details. If you can find out the capacity, great. But really, you are just looking for a vibe or sense of the space.
Finally, if you like what you see, Pin or bookmark the venue in your browser. Having an easy reference will be really helpful!
Don’t Get Too Caught Up in the Starting Prices
Some venues offer a less expensive upfront fee, but the hidden costs WILL add up. Just because one venue appears to be more affordable, doesn’t mean it will be in the end. Location, demand, and inclusions all affect the starting price of a wedding venue.
Even the average amount couples spend on their wedding venue varies! Expect to spend as much as 10-20% of your budget for a venue space alone. But if the venue includes full-service packages, you could knock out 40-50% of your budget.
After Narrowing Down your List…
Finally, once you’ve narrowed down a list of favorite venues, you can start looking at the packages. But don’t forget to keep the following questions in mind:
- Will this vendor provide space, food, and drink?
- Will the venue be too small for my guest list? Or will it be too large for my day (and not feel full and intimate)?
- Will the travel time be workable (if booking separate ceremony and reception venues).
- Is the venue accessible for my guests (for parking, vendor setup, and walking distance)?
- Is there a space to get ready on-site? Or will I need to do hair, makeup, and preparations somewhere else?
- What is the curfew? What noise ordinances will I need to follow?
