Today, the options in reception venues are so diverse from the usual restaurant settings to non-traditional sites like zoos and museums.
Although much of your decision in choosing a location will depend on your personal preferences, there are some practical things that you need to consider.
Here are some useful tips from wedding professionals that will surely help you in choosing the right location for your wedding reception: Some of the most popular wedding reception sites in Colorado are hotels and banquet halls.
There is a wide range of hotels in the state featuring stunning décor to suit the style of your wedding, whether it's a strictly formal affair or something more casual but still classy.
The great thing about hotels, especially the luxury ones, is they have complete amenities down to a honeymoon suite.
The disadvantage would be you would have no other choice but use their in-house services or affiliated vendors.
Also, these venues are pricey and often booked far in advance.
For a wedding reception in Colorado Springs, the cheapest venue is a public facility like a municipal or church hall which charges a fixed fee.
It has onsite facilities that you can use that will save you rental costs.
The downside is the facilities may be a bit worn out.
Also, these venues will require a lot of styling and decor for your event.
A great idea for a wedding reception in Colorado Springs is to hold it outdoors because the natural beauty of the city easily provides the perfect romantic backdrop.
Although it seldom rains in Colorado Springs, it is still best to have a provision for an outdoor tent or choose an outdoor location with a covered space like an open pavilion.
