Choosing the right Cambridge Wedding Reception is one of the most important decisions to ensure a fantastic wedding. Read these tips to help guide you.

When it comes to choosing a wedding reception location, there’s good news – it’s really fun! There are actually only two practical things you need to consider when choosing your wedding reception location:

• The number of people coming;
• And the time that you book.

Every single other aspect of choosing a wedding reception location is completely up to you, and based on what you like best!

The first thing you need to think about is how many people are going to be coming to your reception. You can come up with an accurate estimate for this even if you haven’t received all of your RSVPs back yet.

Just calculate the number on your guest list, and then subtract ten percent. This is the ‘secret’ formula that wedding professionals use when they need to determine the guest count at a wedding before they actually know what that is.

After that, it really is all about choosing what you love. Choose a few different locations that will be large enough to accommodate your guests.

Then take some time visiting them for yourself and see what you like about them.

• Do you want to decorate?
• Do you want there to be dancing room available?
• Do you like the look of the space?
• Do you like the layout?
• Do you feel comfortable in the room?

Ask all the questions you can think of while you are there, and make sure that the venue will be able to meet all of your needs and give you everything you want in your wedding reception.

After you’ve found a wedding reception venue that you love and that you know will be perfect for your big day, there’s one more thing you need to think about – booking early!

Wedding reception venues, especially the most popular ones, book really quickly. Try to book at least six months in advance and even longer if possible to make sure that you get the wedding reception venue you really want!
