If you want to enjoy a long list of venues to choose from, start your venue hunt at least a year in advance. This will give you enough time to find spaces that you like, contact managers for individual offers, and compare the offers according to your requirements. Also, make sure to have a set budget and guest list ready for when you start the venue hunt. Knowing these two factors ahead of time will help you rule out spaces that don’t match your number of guests and those that don’t fall within your price range. This means that picking your dream wedding venue will be much shorter and sweeter.
