If you are trying to decide between a traditional wedding venue and a marquee wedding right now, then see some of the pros and cons below.
Flexibility
If you’ve been to wedding Open Days, then you will have seen that most venues have a list of suppliers who they encourage you to use. On the one hand, it is amazing to have recommendations and be reassured that the suppliers you are using are reliable. However, this can also be quite restricting and lead to your decor, food, and other plans for the day being dictated by the venue.
With a marquee hire, you can choose everything from the layout to the decor and which suppliers you will use.
Personalisation
As we’ve mentioned, everything in a marquee is customisable, from the style and size to the layout and how it’s decorated.
If, however, you do not consider yourself to be a creative person and can’t visualise your dream marquee wedding, then a traditional wedding venue that has been decorated exactly to your taste might be the perfect option for you.
Considerations
One of the most practical things about traditional venues and what attracts so many couples is how everything you need is right there in one place, even if it is not as personal as a marquee might be.
That said, if you are fine with a bit of planning, then you can design your very own dream marquee wedding from start to finish. Just don’t forget the important things such as power, flooring, toilets and hiring the marquee itself from somewhere like goodintents.co.uk/marquee-hire-near-me/worcester.
Cost
Couples will spend as much as they are willing to spend on a wedding, and more in most cases. However, even a budget package from a Worcester wedding venue is unlikely to be as economical as a basic marquee hire Worcester, and with no hidden costs, you know how much you have left to spend on suppliers.
Right, are you now ready to plan your marquee wedding or find that perfect wedding venue?
When the date has to change
Sometimes a wedding has to be postponed, and if that happens, try not to panic. Make a checklist of everything that needs rearranging and work through it one item at a time. There is no pressure to pick a new date straight away, as that decision is yours.
Speak to the venue and suppliers first, then let guests know. A simple change-the-date card is enough, and people will understand.
Moving the date can also be a chance to revisit the choices you were not happy with. You have effectively had a trial run of planning, so you know more about what you want. You might decide on a different venue, swap a traditional setting for a marquee or an open air reception with a mobile bar, or go bigger with a grand location. Seen in a positive light, a new date can lead to a day that suits you even better.
