First of all you need to consider where u are going to have it at. Then answer a question for yourself. What style do I want? How big? Keep in mind what time of year it will be. Also is it formal, casual or elegant. Once these things are considered then you can establish a guest list including all family friends & interested parties. Budget is very important in deciding how many guests you will invite. Once you have narrowed all this down. Now it is time to search for the perfection reception site. Keep in mind a lot of venues book up very fast so planning a couple years in advance would be advised.
Now you are ready to start the search. There are many places to start. Friends, family, bridal shows, bridal magazines & online. The list can go on and on. Reach out in your community to hear from satisfied couples in your area. Maybe they can refer you. Each place will offer its own unique style. There are two types of banquet facilities on-site & off-site. Most on site facilities will provide all of the services you will need for your reception. Off site facilities provide the hall but no other services. The positive side of going off site is doing things your way. An example of a Michigan reception site that is considered off site is the Belle Isle Casino. A lot more work can also make things a little more stressful :( When u book up on site the work is already done for you. Now that you know what you want & don't want now its time to go visit the sites with your fiance or maid of honor and see the placeFirst of all you need to consider where you are going to have it at.
