By Tiffany Wade

Your partner asks you to marry and you say “yes!” Now you have a list of things to do before the wedding date you both agreed on. What do you do next?

We know how easy it is to feel overwhelmed by the many tasks that come with planning your dream wedding. From small to large details, you can quickly get wrapped up in the number of tasks you need to complete. However, while everything seems to be important at first, it is best to prioritize what you need to get done to reduce the amount of stress you feel as the wedding date gets closer. Our advice? Start off with the literal biggest task of them all: the venue.

How do you go about looking for a venue? There are so many!

1.Write down what you absolutely must have in a venue!Details such as proximity to your relatives, space for the number of guests you plan to invite,and the atmosphere are fantastic things to include in a list of venue must-haves. The blog, Layered Indulgence, has additional advice on what to think about when looking for a venue. This can help alleviate the stress of compromising anything you really want in a venue for your special day.Plus, this method helps prevent you from forgetting to look for all the things you want in a venue. Since so much goes into a wedding, you do not want to forget anything!

2.Get inspiration from other weddings!A website that is commonly used for wedding inspiration is Pinterest. Not only can it help you find décor, dress,and hair inspiration, but it can help you find out what style of venue you want. Another resource for venue inspiration is checking out the blog,Woman Getting Married, for wedding venue reviews and real wedding inspiration based on the location you want for your wedding!The Bridal Extravaganza Show in Houston Texas offers a list of venues in a list of vendors for you to check out!

3.Use websites tailored to helping brides find venues like The Knot, Wedding Wire, and Style Me Pretty!Much like websites that act as search engines for homes, hotels, and vehicles, these are websites that have a system you can use to filter out things you are not looking for when searching for a venue.You only want venues in your hometown? No problem. You want an outdoor wedding? Of course. You want to invite both you and your partners’ large families and need a space that can hold all of them? Sure!It will give you a list of venues that meet these requirements you have, which will help you immensely in the venue search process!

4.Go to events that showcase different wedding venues! Events such as bridal shows and wedding planning events will assist you in your search for a venue by sharing venue information and what they may offer. These events are great not only for the venue-searching process, but the rest of the wedding planning process, as well! Visit the Venues is a luxury bus to that takes couples on a tour of venues.
