You are engaged!! Now a million thoughts of your future, and your big day are flashing and running through your mind. You are planning, and planning, and imagining.

One of the most important once, since you’ve decided already that your wedding will be in Newport, is where will your perfect, dream day be at? Wedding venues in Newport are absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. All of the wedding options in Newport are unique actually. In this post you will learn about choosing a wedding venue, actual Newport venues, and also some bonus wedding planning tips at the end.

Choosing a Wedding Venue

When choosing the perfect venue for your wedding day, there are quite a few factors to consider. Usually, when you book the venue it’s pretty far in advance, and a deposit will likely be required to reserve the day. You want to make sure that the decision considers everything.

The Vision

First, make sure you and your fiancé have a vision for your dream wedding. This might involve talking with your wedding planner (if you have one), or having a vision board. You will also want to know your must haves, and likes / dislikes.

Guest List

Have your guest list planned out. When visiting these wedding venues the operators will be able to tell you the capacity. When planning the guest list and venue you don’t want the venue too large and empty, or the other way around and too small and crowded.

Wedding Transportation

Know how your wedding party is arriving, and where guests will income as well! Some important things to keep in mind when touring these wedding venues: travel time from venue to venue (like hotels, or from ceremony to reception, etc.), convenient, accessibility. Consider traveling to your wedding venue in Newport with one of Viking’s stylish charter buses, or make a unique statement and roll up in a wedding trolley. That is another thing to think about – at the wedding venue will your guests see you arrive / make an entrance!? When you figure out transportation to the wedding venue, it checks that off of the wedding planning checklist.

Budget

Budget. Budget, budget, budget – the most vital part of the wedding planning process. When sifting through wedding venues in Newport, the price of the actual venue isn’t the only thing budget wise that you and your fiancé will need to consider. You have to think – will this venue provide chairs, or will you need to rent them? Will they provide wedding entertainment? Or a bartender? Is it extra to have this and that? These are all extra costs that could be saved on, or expenses that could deplete that area of your budget!
