Wedding Ceremony Sites
You’ve said “yes” to the proposal, but now you have to do a thousand things to plan your wedding. That includes choosing a spot to say “I do”. As you look for the perfect wedding ceremony sites in Georgia, we invite you to connect with some of our vendors below. Keep reading to find out what’s important when choosing a location for your nuptials.
Religious Considerations
You may need to choose a venue that resonates with your spiritual beliefs or with the beliefs of your family. Some religions dictate that you must be married in a specific house of worship, while others are a bit more lenient on location. In other cases, you may want to choose a non-denominational chapel or a place where people of multiple faiths will feel comfortable. In other cases, regardless of your religious beliefs, you may just want to choose a neutral location.
Logistics
When looking at wedding ceremony sites in Georgia you need to think about logistics. Is the ceremony in a place that is easy for your guests to reach? Is there space for all your guests? If there isn’t a traditional altar or stage, is there somewhere else the celebrant, the couple, and the wedding party can stand? Those are just some of the questions you should consider from a logistical standpoint.
Versatility
To minimize hassles and travel on your big day, you may want to choose wedding ceremony sites in Georgia that can also double as reception sites. To make this possible, some couples look for a venue where they can hold the ceremony outside and have the reception inside. Or, they get married and have the reception in the exact same spot. Typically, that involves moving around a few chairs and replacing them with tables for dining or turning the altar into a dance floor.
Amenities
Whether you plan to just have the ceremony in your location or both the ceremony and the reception, you should think about amenities. Some wedding ceremony sites in Georgia have benches, pews, or chairs all ready for your guests. With other sites, you have to bring in those amenities. Similarly, some sites have audio-visual tools so that you can hook up a mic for the celebrant, but in other locations, you have to bring that equipment in. When touring potential locations, talk about amenities and think about the costs of any additional items you need to rent and bring in.
Aesthetic
Arguably, your desired aesthetic is the most important element to consider when you’re choosing a site for your ceremony or anything else. If you always wanted to get married on the beach, make it happen. If you’ve been dreaming of a quaint, little white chapel, you can find it. If you want lights, flowers, arches, gazebos, or any other flourishes, you deserve a place that offers that, and luckily, there are such an abundance of options throughout the state that you should easily be able to find what you want.
