Work out your numbers
Your choice of venues is largely dependent on numbers. So begin your scottish wedding venue search by creating a rough total to include all the people you'd both like to invite, and those requested by family members. Are you having a big wedding?
When booking a wedding venue it's important to think about the size of wedding you'd like to have and the split between day and evening guests. Would you like a big affair or a smaller meal and a huge party at night? Or you might choose an exclusive-use venue where you can take complete control of it over a weekend.Choose the ceremony location
Would you like a church wedding or would you prefer to have your ceremony and reception in the same venue? Most venues will charge a hire fee if you choose to conduct your ceremony there, so make sure to allocate cash for that in your budget. The same goes for church fees.Finding the right spot
If you're from different parts of the country or different countries then this might be a tricky topic. But the quicker you choose the location, the easier your wedding venue search becomes! Look at the benefits of each area, paying particular attention to the range of venues, accommodation options and photography opportunities.Match your style
Your wedding venue search – and booking a wedding venue – will be easier if you create a note of your venue must-haves. Your list might include easy access to an airport, a wow-how-amazingly-historic-is-my-wedding castle location or gorgeous grounds. Or you might be more bothered by the price of a pint!
