If you are christain and belong to a church or have always dreamed of getting married at a certain place, you should khow is not much to think about. But for many others the choice is not so obvious.

Start asking your friends and family for recommendations to help you find the location. you should looking around for a location as soon as possible. It can take time to find a place that has everything you are looking for.
Keep in mind that churches and reception halls book up fast, especially for the summer months.

Other important things to keep in mind when choosing a wedding location include:

 Who are you guest ?
 If you have guests who are older or disabled make sure there are restrooms that are accessible to them. If the only restroom is up 2 flights of stairs, there could be problems.

 How many your budget ?
You should take a look the place at your budget. How important is it to you to have your wedding in that enchanted castle off the coast? You may have to compromise by cutting the guest list down.

 What is your wedding date?
You should take into account the wedding date that you have chosen. (If you want a beach wedding, you should select date in the winter)

What is about site management?
You should visit various wedding and reception locations and get a feel for how cooperative or restrictive the site management is.

What is the timetable?
You should schedule meetings with potential or actual vendors and get their input on the site you are considering.

Are you sure you site availible to you?
You should book your site and get all business arrangements in writing.

Are you have areas for taking photographs?
You should have areas for taking photographs.  If not you might have to have them taken offsite.

Who are important guest?
Who will be supervising and troubleshooting on your wedding day? If possible meet him ahead of time. You'll need to trust him to handle any little emergencies that pop up.

Are you have bride and groom places?
You should have rooms available for the bride and groom to relax and freshen up.

Are you backup plan ?
If you decide the locations outdoors do they have a backup plan in case of rain?

For some people decide a destination wedding.
A destination wedding is when you travel to a special place to get married. Presumably, it’s a place that you've been to and loved or a place you've always wanted to see. This is a great option to cut costs as your guest list will likely only include close friends and family. This will depend of course on how far and how exclusive your destination is.
When planning a destination wedding must be sure and be prepared research the marriage laws of the place you are traveling to. Some countries have laws that require you to be a resident or to submitting to tests before tying the knot on their soil.

It would be a great shame to travel a great distance only to find out that they won't let you get married there.
