Picking a location for your Wedding-Hotel, Restaurant, Off-side, Destination?//

Hotel
It's easiest to arrange. One of the biggest advantages of a hotel is that nearly everything you need is already there, from the tables to the dance floor t employees who will staff the wedding. Aside from the catering and the bar you can bring in your own vendors.

Restaurant
Best suited to wedding of 125 or fewer guests, restaurants are often chosen for superb food, a distinctive setting, or a special  ambience-all of which can make for a chic and intimate wedding.

An Off-Site Wedding
A Wedding is considered off-site if the place doesn't have commercial kitchen or stock items like tables, linens, china and flatware. The setting could be anything from an estate, a beach, or a park to an urban loft or cultural center. A home wedding is almost always considered off-site, unless it is such a small event that you don't need to bring in rentals.
Off-site wedding can be gorgeous, but can come at a high price.

Outdoor Wedding
Can be absolutely magical. It won't look like any other wedding and there's no space more sacred than nature. Another bonus:no photographer's trick can match the glow of a sunset.
The rule for outdoor wedding is to have a backup strategy for rain, winds, heat or cold.
Before you commit to an outdoor wedding, consider your personality. Make sure you can handle the uncertainty that comes with an unpredictable location. If you can't stand frizzy hair, last-minute changes, mud stains, you'd probably be happier with more controlled environment.


Home Wedding
A sentimental favourite, the home wedding is personal and intimate. You can choose any day and time you like. But home wedding tend to have hidden costs. You are going to need equipment-tables, chairs, glassware, tent, lightning and so on. The biggest budget bonus is the liquor. Buying your own alcohol is cutting the bar bill in half.

The Destination Wedding
Since destination weddings involve some amount of travel, they also tend to last longer than the average wedding. Festivities might go on for 2-3 days.
Typically, you are essentially taking care of guests from the moment they arrive until they depart. You might be coordinating everything from airport transportation to a welcome party, activities during the day, the wedding itself, reception and a day after brunch. You might find yourself negotiating airline and hotel rates, assembling gift baskets, booking spa appointments and so on.
Full information packets should go 6-8 months before the wedding and you should get the save the date cards even earlier.
While a destination wedding tends to be pricey for the guests, it isn't necessarily super expensive for the host. And if you like to include personal touches, nothing will let you do it better than a destination wedding.
