Selecting a Ceremony Location

You’re engaged! You’ve decided on a date!

Now what?

Now you begin coordinating that date with your search for the perfect venue to celebrate your wedding ceremony.

Before you settle on a place, take time to insure that you have your priorities in line. While this is an occasion for the biggest party you will ever give, that shouldn't be the prime target.

Your wedding ceremony is symbolic of a huge decision and commitment that you and your special someone have made to each other. Where you will be married needs to be your first critical decision.

If a religious location is important to you both, and you are both of the same faith and attend a church or synagogue on a regular basis, your decision is easy. But if you are living in a different area, and away from your family place of worship, you will need to look for potential locations. Many churches and synagogues will only marry “parishioners”.

If you choose a non-religious location for your wedding ceremony, there are several options to consider. Public gathering spaces in historical buildings, museums, art galleries, and even sports stadiums have all been used for memorable ceremonies.

Whether you choose to be married at home, at the beach, or in the mountains, you can create a beautiful setting for this important day.

Remember that the ceremony is what this day is all about!
