List of the Best Hawaii Wedding Venues
By: Jill Andrus
Nothing is more fun than planning a party for all your friends, but when trouble strikes on a large gathering it appears much large than it needs to because there are more people involved. To avoid all this and prepare a wedding event that is full of fun and happiness keep in mind your guests and their needs as well and you'll have the party of a lifetime.
I try to think of myself attending another social event so I can image what it feels like from their perspective. I'm usually running late, and want to park as close to the event as possible since I'm carrying gifts and may have a few children in tow. I usually have a pretty good clue where I'm going but sometimes addresses are a little funny or the directions aren't as clear as they could be so have clear signs along the way is helpful. I'm also very interested in feeling welcomed by a nice large building that says "this is where I'm supposed to be." Nothing is worse than showing up and wondering if you're at the right place.
Then once I arrive, it would be nice to have a gathering area where I can feel welcomed and meet others without crowding into a small area with people I've never met. Call me crazy but showing up to meet 100 or more people I've never met is not my cup of tea. But I warm up quickly if I'm comfortable.
Getting the right facility to fit the size of your party and your budget can be difficult at times and you may have to increase your budget if it's the right facility. Nothing is worse than have all your guests crammed into a little space and feeling like they need to leave early so more of your guests can arrive and meet with you. Large open spaces are great for this and can be decorated to feel more intimate.
Sometimes creating a kid friendly activity will help keep them busy and relax your guests so they can enjoy your wedding as well. You will need room, usually in view of their parents, for this to work so maybe this is something for you to consider as well. Making the children the center of the party may also work in that all of the activities include them and have a theme about families therefore making your guests feel the most comfortable.
Most facilities are finding it easier for everyone if they provide on-site catering for your event. Some even require that you use their caterer. This isn't a bad thing but it may not be in your plans so be sure to ask if this is important to you.
Finding space for everyone is the key to finding the right building. Your entertainers, whether they be djs or live musicians, will need somewhere to setup and play and you'll want to be sure they have the room necessary to make this a hit at your party.
Some facilities are just made for your wedding because they match everything else you have planned. Others are perfect because they match your budget or the location is most convenient. No matter the reason you pick it, just be sure you find a way to make it your own.
