You can definitely have your ceremony and reception at the same venue! But there are some things you need to consider. 

• First, make sure that your garden wedding venue is licensed to serve alcohol. You might think that's obvious, but it's not always the case. 
• Second, make sure they're comfortable with doing both ceremonies and receptions at the same location. Some venues only do one or the other, and may not be able to accommodate your needs.
• Third, make sure they're okay with hosting your ceremony in the morning before noon and your reception after sunset because those are the times when most people tend to get married. Keep in mind that there are some restrictions on what you can do at a garden venue. You might not be able to have live music or fireworks, and it's probably best if you don't serve alcohol during the ceremony itself.

Some venues charge additionally for catering (food, drinks, crew), while others already include that in the fee. Other costs you may need to consider are tables, chairs, and decorations. It’s also important to check if the venue charges extra for the use of their equipment, such as generators, lights, or sound systems. If you have any other questions, please ask your personal event manager at Tagvenue so you can plan with peace of mind.
