Without the ceremony there is no reason for receptions. If you haven\u2019t selected the ceremony site, get that attended to and then move on to\u00a0choosing the banquet facilities. Be sure to start shopping as early as possible to ensure you get the first choice of date and venue. One year is typically suggested.<\/p>\n<p>When in the market for perfect reception halls think about budget, of course, but also the personalities of the bride and groom. Some of the best\u00a0wedding reception ideas\u00a0come straight from the bride&#8217;s imagination. Once you have an idea of the type of reception hall for you, locate a series of reception sites meeting your criteria and visit them. Here are some issues to ponder when interviewing prospective managers of banquet facilities in your area.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fees, Please\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; Banquet facilities often have wedding packages with lots of options. Be sure to ask about what\u2019s included and get it all in a written contract.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Save the Date\u00a0\u2013<\/strong> Be sure the reception hall has your wedding date and time available. Does the time open coordinate with the ending time of the ceremony? (Don\u2019t leave guests waiting for hours between events) Ask if your wedding will be the only wedding or if you\u2019ll be sharing the hall with other brides.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paper Policy\u00a0\u2013<\/strong> Again, ask about contracts. What is your refund policy and is it spelled out in the contract? Before you plunk down that hard earned deposit be sure this is \u2018your place\u201d.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Catering\u00a0\u2013<\/strong> Will the reception hall provide catering\/food? Seems like a no-brainer, however, some reception halls like local Elks\u2019 Club halls, for example, do not provide a kitchen staff. If an outside caterer will be employed, is there an additional charge to use the kitchen? And, speaking of food, will you expect formal, served meals, cocktail style service or banquet buffet? Will the wedding cake be provided?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capacity\u00a0\u2013<\/strong> How many guests can the banquet hall seat? Do they have choices of rooms in various styles of d\u00e9cor and seating capacity?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beverages\u00a0\u2013<\/strong> Open bar or semi-open bar with a limited variety of alcoholic and soft beverages? No cash bars, please! Never ask your guests to bring the party. Proper banquet facilities will steer you in the right direction by suggesting ways to cut the bar cost without being tacky.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bathrooms\u00a0\u2013<\/strong> Visiting the facilities can be a terrific way to get an idea about reception hall and kitchen cleanliness. If you wouldn\u2019t use the bathroom, chances are you may not want to eat from the kitchen.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Closing Time\u00a0\u2013<\/strong> Be sure you know the policy for closing time. It would be sad to hire entertainment for possible overtime if the facility will not or cannot remain open.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Many banquet facilities and reception halls provide references but asking people you know will yield more personal responses since, obviously, one person\u2019s idea of a terrific reception hall could be another\u2019s nightmare. Your friends and family know your taste and will likely be able to tell you if they think the venue is right for you. If the hall provides regular dinner service or has public events where you can dine, be sure to try out the food and the service as a guest. Doing so will allow you to see a real event in action and not just a personal show for you at an off-hour.<\/p>\n<p>Final advice \u2013 have fun\u00a0selecting banquet facilities.\u00a0Enjoy the planning of your wedding. The actual wedding day will fly by and, during the planning, you will get to see how well you and your partner really work together, make decisions and problem solve as a team.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden;\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wedding-reception\/easy-guide-on-how-to-choose-the-best-caterer-for-your-wedding-party\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/239283857_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/239283857_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 83px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; background-image: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wedding-reception\/easy-guide-on-how-to-choose-the-best-caterer-for-your-wedding-party\" target=\"_blank\">Easy Guide on How to Choose the Best Caterer for Your Wedding Party<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stylemepretty.com\/illinois-weddings\/2013\/08\/17\/style-me-pretty-illinois-welcomes-our-advertisers-10\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/194604924_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/194604924_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 83px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; background-image: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stylemepretty.com\/illinois-weddings\/2013\/08\/17\/style-me-pretty-illinois-welcomes-our-advertisers-10\/\" target=\"_blank\">SMP Illinois Welcomes Our Advertisers + A DISCOUNT!<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/offbeatbride.com\/2014\/04\/new-zealand-crafty-wedding\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/265633329_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/265633329_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 83px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; background-image: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/offbeatbride.com\/2014\/04\/new-zealand-crafty-wedding\" target=\"_blank\">Jay &amp; Pepe&#8217;s rural crafty New Zealand wedding<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none; float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_h.png?x-id=34840ab0-67d7-4889-9bea-2514f91e6875\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none; float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_h.png?x-id=34840ab0-67d7-4889-9bea-2514f91e6875\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Selecting the ceremony site was easy, and one of the most important selections since, after all, the ceremony IS the wedding, right?
