hi my name is abbas and i'm the sales director here at the box house hotel located in scenic greenpoint brooklyn before couples start contacting venues a few things they should know about their wedding are their budget their guest size and what season they like to get married in the most a wedding venue viewing is a couple's first chance to be in their eventual wedding venue and really envision their wedding in the space it also may be a good idea to bring a close friend or family member who has been recently married as they have a very fresh experience planning a wedding and they may have some perspective that a couple does not a full service venue typically includes all of the furniture the silverware the glassware and the food and beverage catering some all-inclusive wedding venues also include an intensive event coordination service to help couples plan their wedding as they get closer to the day hotel wedding venues are especially nice because they have rooms for all your guests to stay in they often have a bar where you could do an after party or restaurant where you do a post wedding brunch for your guests the morning after one thing that many couples forget to consider is the time in between the two often times ceremonies in the morning and receptions of the evening and couples don't consider what their guests will be doing in a time in between the most important thing for couples to look for in an outdoor wedding venue is rain plan we have a retractable rooftop awning that covers our wedding couples and their guests in mere seconds so they're all protected from intermittent weather a couple should start looking for their wedding venue about 12 to 18 months before their ideal season it's especially important for couples to secure a date at least six months before their ideal date so they give themselves enough time to plan the wedding and invite all their guests that being said once you've seen more venues than you can remember you might want to slow down so you don't become inundated with all the different details of different wedding venues couples should have their final guest count one month before their wedding date so that the venue the caterer and coordinator could plan towards throwing them the best wedding that they can ways a couple could customize their wedding venue space our different table layouts you could go a seat or dinner or a cocktail style wedding with all the food being passed around our wedding venue will work with your florist your dj your band and other vendors to make sure that your wedding is customized to your liking it's always a really great idea to work with vendors who are familiar with your wedding venue as they already have experience in that space we include all the furniture the service staff the event coordination service as well as all your food and beverage while other wedding venues might only include use of the space the most important thing to remember while looking for your wedding venue is to have fun with it wedding venue planning could be daunting way too often i see couples get stressed out as they look for a wedding venue it's a poor natural sight of the fact that you're playing the best night of your life with a person you love the most thank you so much for watching check out the rooftop at the boxhouse hotel on thenot.com links the description down below happy planning
