Choosing a wedding venue is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as part of planning your wedding ceremony and reception, but it can feel overwhelming at times. But never fear, HeadBox is here to guide you through the process of hiring a wedding venue that suits your budget, size and style needs. We’ll take away the stress of searching for the perfect place to get married so you can concentrate on the finer details of the ceremony and the party, of course.
Decide on your guest numbers
Asian weddings are big, multi-day celebrations with lots of guests, so finding the right large venue can be tough. Banqueting halls or ballrooms in hotels are a great place to start, they have much larger capacities than other venues and usually have grand interiors which make a stunning backdrop. Birmingham has a host of historic venues that would also be a great fit.
If you’re looking for a bit more of a blank canvas then a converted warehouse could also be a great option. This will give you free rein to decorate the space however you want. This type of venue also tends to offer dry hire which would allow you to provide your own food and drink - a great way to keep costs down.
Consider your budget
Location and catering all have a big impact on your budget. If you’re looking for a cheaper venue then looking further out of Birmingham is a good place to start as city centre venues come at more of a premium. Check out the warehouses in Digbeth or the banqueting halls in Moseley. Choosing to self-cater or choose your own caterer for your wedding will give you greater control over your budget too. Allowing a bit of flexibility with dates, perhaps choosing a less popular month, for example, will also help make some savings."
