Por Heather Cole-\u00a0Catering de Bekker<\/a>\u00a0| Consejos de expertos<\/p>\n

In weddings, like everything else in life, every situation and every person is different. Some people grow up dreaming of wedding bells, planning every detail far before they even have a partner in mind. Some people have absolutely no idea, and don\u2019t give weddings a thought until they are engaged. One crucial detail in planning a wedding is where it is going to take place! San Diego is a stunning city. People travel from all over the world to get married here, and we have a plentitude of settings to choose from when planning a wedding. San Diego happens to encompass mountains, deserts and of course, the beach.\u00a0 We also have a great deal of lovely wedding venues and hotels that are available for receptions. Which of these you choose will depend primarily on three factors: the \u201clook<\/strong>\u201d you are going for, the type of reception<\/strong> you hope to host, and your budget<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

First, let\u2019s talk about the \u201clook<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0 When I sit down with a couple, one of my first questions is \u201cwhat do you envision?\u201d Most of my job is taking what you see in your head, and making it become reality. Now, some couples genuinely have no idea, but for the most part, there is a picture rattling around up there. Where does that picture take place? Is it a ritzy ballroom? A rustic ranch? The beach? Knowing what type of setting you are looking for will help you narrow down the options until you find the one that\u2019s right for you. Both the north and the east areas of San Diego are full of amazing ranch-style venues. Temecula, Fallbrook, Valley Center, Escondido, Jamul, Julian, El Cajon, Lakeside and Alpine are great areas to look at if you are looking for anything involving a barn, horses, or if the words \u201cburlap and lace\u201d appeal to you. Women\u2019s Clubs are often available as wedding venues, and can be found in varying areas of the county.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget about beaches and parks! As far as hotels go, we have many beautiful hotels that are available for wedding receptions. Most hotels do not allow outside catering or rental companies, so you just have to make sure you know what catering and rental options you have, and that you like them, before you book. Finding the perfect setting for your perfect day can be a challenge, but we are fortunate to find ourselves in a city so well-suited for beautiful weddings!<\/p>\n

What kind of reception<\/strong> would you like to host? A multitude of cultural and preferential factors play into this. Perhaps you hope to have a small dessert reception after your ceremony. Maybe you are going to host a tea ceremony for your family privately before a dinner reception. Is a traditional buffet reception with a beautiful cake more your thing? Depending on what type of reception you are going to be having, choosing an appropriate venue can help make your special day spectacular! Where are you going to have your ceremony? Many venues feature ceremony areas in addition to reception areas. Do you want your guests to travel from a ceremony site to a reception venue?\u00a0 How will they get there? Is there adequate parking? If you choose an outdoor venue who will be handling your rentals? Will you need a separate set of chairs for ceremony and reception? If you choose an all-in-one ceremony and reception site is there a separate area for cocktail hour? Keep in mind the sequence of events that you are planning for your guests, and find a venue that helps make it easy. Confused guests are the last thing you need to deal with! Consult with your venue as to what they \u201cusually\u201d do. Chances are, they have plans for every idea you may have. After all, they\u2019re the experts!<\/p>\n

Last but not least, let\u2019s address budget<\/strong>. Keep in mind that lots of venues, such as conference centers, are essentially a blank canvas for your vision. Check out local recreational centers and community rooms in housing communities. \u00a0Especially now, in the \u201cAge of Pinterest<\/a>\u201d everyone is capable of taking on some DIY projects and personalization. Many of these \u201cblank canvas\u201d venues are very affordable, and if you don\u2019t mind putting in a little extra elbow grease, you can find a wonderful happy medium between dream and reality. County parks are a great asset; Many times they feature community centers for indoor needs, and sometimes require only a permit to host an outdoor wedding. Beaches generally require permits for groups over 50, so consulting with the parks department will be the best first-step for a non-hotel beach wedding. Many venues lower their rental fees for Sunday weddings, and even lower on weekdays. Check with your (or a local) church, sometimes there is wiggle room on the fee.\u00a0 Also, don\u2019t forget about backyards! Maybe you have a family friend or coworker with a beautiful home and stunning yard, maybe you just saw one while driving down the street! It can never hurt to ask! If you have a little more money to work with, hotels and places specifically designed as wedding venues are absolutely lovely. Sit down and talk it out! Find what works for you. There is no right or wrong way!<\/p>\n

En su viaje hacia el altar habr\u00e1 que tomar muchas decisiones. \u00a1Con suerte, encontrar el lugar perfecto es f\u00e1cil para usted y su futura pareja!<\/p>\n
