A Beginners Guide on the Types of Wedding Venues

Weddings are meant to be perfect and everyone wants to say ‘I do’ to their loved ones in a perfect place. But choosing wedding venues is a big deal. Shortly after a couple gets engaged, not only do they get a million well-wishes but they also get the inevitable questions of when and where. Before you start making a list of possible venues to visit, however, think about the type of venue that would suit you best.

This write up will give you a clear understanding on the various types of wedding venues to choose from.

•    Church Hall

Church hall is one of the most traditional venues. Many couples might opt for their adjoining church hall for a number of reasons, be it sentimental or convenience.

•    Hotels

Being one of the most popular wedding venue, hotels have a touch of elegance, combined with practicality and convenience. The great thing about hotels is that they have everything there for you that you could possibly need and there is plenty of room for your guests to stay.

•    Beaches

They provide the perfect setting for a relaxed and informal wedding ceremony. Try to find a venue with direct access to the coast, and make sure you visit the beach yourself before making a booking to check that it is private and fairly sheltered.

•    Vineyards


They make very romantic and picturesque wedding venues, and you can add local flavour by serving wines made on site.  You could arrange wine tasting for your guests to keep them entertained between the ceremony and reception.

Unique Wedding Ideas to Make Your Vineyard Wedding Even More Romantic


If you’re planning the perfect wedding amidst a vineyard, this will definitely help you organise an outstanding wedding. Right from wine-themed venues, guest book alternatives to wedding favours and gift ideas, you can pick out some clever inspirations for your wedding day from our post below:

1.    The Venue Setting – You can pick a Swan Valley accommodation for your guests and host a wedding at one of the oldest wine regions in West Australia. The rustic charm, romantic natural beauty and the open landscapes will definitely entice you and your guests. You can either choose to do the wedding in the lush green outdoors or you can also do it at a winery for a perfect indoor setting.

2.    Special Invites – Guests usually love a place where they can relax during your wedding. If you can convey the theme and venue through your Save the Date cards, they will definitely look forward to attending. You can use cork to make a save the date card and send some creative wine-themed invitations to your guests. This is the perfect way to share the theme of the wedding beforehand and get them excited to attend.

3.    Wedding Favours – A small bottle of wine will be the perfect wedding favour for your guests. You can also customise it with a small tag around the bottle that says, ‘Thank you for sharing this special day with us.” You can also get a customised corkscrew engraved with your wedding date and give it as a favour. All your guests will always remember you whenever they are opening their favourite bottle of wine!

4.    Beautiful Décor
– Right from getting custom napkins made with special notes to having your guests sign a barrel or wine bottles, you can get extremely creative in your wedding décor. Instead of having table numbers, use wine names like Merlot, Shiraz, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, etc.  and have them printed on the guest name cards. You can also use a colour palette incorporating the deep red wine colour for an elegant look and feel.

5.    Unlimited Romance
– Wineries are places that effortlessly extend romance to every couple out there. And for those getting married, the opportunities for romance are truly endless. You can capture amazing shots around the vineyard including the ‘first look’. You can also save a bottle from the event for your first wedding anniversary. Couples can create monograms of corks and place them at the venue. These can also be taken at home post the wedding for a beautiful wall piece décor. You can also get customised Mr & Mrs chair signs made from corks for an exclusive look to the dinner table.
