Planning a wedding? Find your dream wedding venue and celebration space

Is your big day approaching, but you're still searching for a venue? Choosing a wedding venue is one of the most important, yet most exciting decisions in wedding planning. A memorable day deserves the right environment, so it's worth starting your search for your dream wedding venue well in advance.

What to consider when choosing a wedding venue?

The choice of wedding venue affects many aspects: the atmosphere of the celebration, transportation and accommodation arrangements, the guest list, and often the entire day's schedule. Before selecting a venue, it's worth considering a few key questions:

• How many guests is the event planned for? The space should be appropriately sized – not too large, but not too cramped either.
• Should the event be held outdoors, indoors, or perhaps both? Is the ceremony intended to be arranged in the same location? And has a weather contingency plan been considered?
• What services are to be included for the event day? Is catering, accommodation, decoration, evening program, or sauna facilities offered?
• What kind of atmosphere is desired for the space? Modern and clear, nature‑friendly and relaxed, or historic and more festive?
