Picking from the many banquet facilities Olympia is a major undertaking.  After the couple has picked a date the next thing to be done is finding a venue.  In fact, it would probably be wise to have an approximate date for the wedding and then see what the different banquet facilities Olympia have available.   Weddings are big business and take a lot of time to plan.  

Most couples will have booked a reception venue months in advance; in fact some may have booked it as much as a year in advance so that they could have the date they wanted.  When you begin to look for a venue there are some things to consider.  You will need to know exactly what the venue is providing.  What other additional expenses will you incur in addition to the cost of renting the venue?  

Some facilities will include tables and chairs while you will be expected to provide any linens you want.  Many facilities have a list of vendors that they will either insist you use or recommend you use.  If you have a particular photographer or caterer you want that isn’t on their list it could become problematic and something to consider when picking a venue. Before you start looking for a venue you will also want some idea of how many guests will be attending your reception.  

You don’t want your guests crowded into a space that is too small, and at the same time you don’t want to spend extra money on a space that is way too big.  Having the right size venue will give your guests room to move and at the same time have the event feel intimate.  You want the people you have asked to share your day to feel like they are part of it.

 You want everyone to be able see you cut the cake and watch the happy couple dance their first dance.  

So, when looking at venues pay attention to any posts or other obstruction that are in the space.  There is a lot to think about when you are looking at venues.  You may want to consider taking a few extra people with you to ask questions and look at the space. Every bride wants her wedding to be perfect, but there are bound to be some bumps in the road even on your wedding day.  Picking a venue that has lots of experience with weddings will know how to handle the unexpected.  With the many banquet facilities Olympia has available you should have no problem finding one that will be perfect for you.
