What customers are looking for in that perfect venue....... Can help you find the location of your venue company

So what are they looking for:
Each of these wedding locations will give their own unique atmosphere to the event. Consider having a wedding at one of these possible venues:

From simple wedding banquet halls, Scenic outdoor wedding venues, Jaw-dropping reception ballrooms, to traditional church.
 
  • A courtyard or ocean view where you can have your ceremony and the added convenience of the reception at the same venue.

  • Botanical gardens where your guests can stroll through the grounds and your decorating costs will be at a minimum because of the beautiful surroundings.
 
  • Bed and breakfast inns offer out of town guests the convenience of lodging and you can also enjoy the accommodations of your first night together as husband and wife.


  • Historic homes have history and beauty to offer.
 
  • Trains and boats offer a unique experience.
 
  • A beach weddings can offer you a relaxed atmosphere.
  •  
  • A winery is incredibly beautiful. There are plenty of activities for guests and family and luxury accommodations.
 

  • A mountain town or ski resort or country settings are beautiful place to host weddings. They can always offer plenty of activities and/or luxury accommodations for guests and family.
  


I am considering a location where I can accommodate options, so the option to have a few of these in one location would be ideal, I am leaning toward finding a large amount of land with river or a large lake access, where I can build my dream from scratch. I would like to start with the Barn wedding option and the garden wedding option, leaving room to grow as business grows perhaps adding a little wedding chapel option and the lake/river houseboat option.

FEED BACK PLEASE,
IF YOU WERE GETTING MARRIED WHAT WOULD YOUR PERFECT WEDDING VENUE BE?

Become an event planner, Where to Start:

Make a List, Check it Often

Keep a notebook handy with all the various details you need to keep everything together. A ring binder notebook will house all of your notes, quotes, receipts and details. Keeping yourself organized is one of the most important things to consider. This way, some of the tiny details you thought you'd never forget are actually right there on the list as a reminder. You'll thank yourself at the end when you've jotted down a note to call all of your vendors the morning of the event to be sure they have correct directions and are on schedule.

Home Base possibilities to get started with..

To start your home-based event planning business you’ll need a computer, printer, telephone, fax machine, business license, basic party supplies, and a truck or a van. You will also need to find ways to market (advertise) your event planning company; building a website is a great to promote your business and show off your portfolio. It is helpful if you specialize in a specific niche, such as baby showers, weddings, charity events, or corporate events.
So, if you’re creative, have good verbal and written communication skills, excellent organizational and time management skills, and you like to budget, plan, and negotiate, a home-based business in event planning may be your calling.
