Everyone wants their wedding day to be unique and special and to reflect the style of bride and groom together. One of the best way to ensure this is to choose the proper venue. The venue can influence the rest of the decor for your big day, so you ought to make this choice before almost anything else. Wedding venues Austin has to offer vary widely, but that's a good thing. But how do you go about making such a big decision? Believe me, I know how stressful it can be to plan this, one of the biggest moments of your life, but let me share with you what I've learned as I have gotten married and assisted in multiple other weddings. Before you start making phone calls and getting estimates, sit down with your fiance. Make a list of all the places that come to mind. DON'T rule anything out, and DON'T argue, even if your spouse-to-be makes some distasteful suggestions. Just make the list! Then take a drive through the town in which you plan to get married or browse the internet to get some more ideas. Add any possibilities to your list. After you have created this exhaustive list, discuss with your man the vision you have for the ceremony. Compare his input with your ideas and try to reach a compromise. Once you have done so, it is time to start narrowing it down. I have a side note suggestion: avoid a destination wedding unless you know for sure that all parties involved, including every guest, will not be financially burdened by the getaway. The exotic location is supposed to be reserved for the honeymoon. Destination weddings are often very stressful for those invited. They want to support you, but they shouldn't have to break the bank to do it, especially in today's economic conditions. If you still have an exotic location in mind, try a sunset cruise on a ship or a small privately chartered boat, depending upon the size of the wedding you are planning. This will still give you the romantic atmosphere you are going for without such a dramatic expense. Though you want to be unique, you should not exclude traditional locations like churches or cathedrals. If you are going for a classic style, you should not rule out the not-so-obvious choices like restaurants, theatres, or public landmarks. Be practical about your final decision. Stick to your budget and think of the needs you will have throughout the big day. And remember that you can choose two separate places for your ceremony and reception, so that will give you room to compromise. Capital Cruises is the only all-electric boat fleet on the Highland Lakes. They offer lunch and dinner cruises, internationally famous bat watching excursions, party boat services, group and corporate outings, and a most unique among wedding venues Austin can provide.
