7 things to consider when choosing your Croatia wedding venue

– Know your budget 

Explore different options. Get pricing and other relevant info. Take a few venues into consideration and compare. Furthermore, take your time and re-evaluate the process.

– Discuss the venue’s capacity and other relevant info

Every wedding venue has a capacity for a different setting – make sure you have information on how many guests can be seated for your preferred seating style. Also, is there a backup secured in case of a bad weather scenario? Is there a curfew? Are there any other limitations you should be aware of? Make sure you get answers to all your questions as you do not want any surprises near the wedding date.

– Discuss catering options 

Who is the site’s preferred caterer? Are there any limitations? Can you bring a caterer of your choice? Ask questions.

– Plan a site inspection 

Images and videos from past weddings at your preferred wedding venue can help you visualize your special day, however, we always recommend planning a site inspection. You will be able to get a feel for the venue, which cannot be done online. A live site inspection can make a big difference – if circumstances allow you, try to plan your visit to the destination.

Chic Croatia tips and recommendations

– Keep in mind that venue selection is an integral part of wedding planning. Your Croatia wedding venue plays a crucial role in setting your overall wedding vibe. It can make a big difference. Next, besides the mentioned Croatia wedding venues, there are many other breathtaking venues that we have within our portfolio. Contact us today for a full list of venues available.

– Make sure to have a backup plan secured. Besides the fact that May to September is usually sunny and warm, the weather is the only thing that cannot be controlled on your wedding day. Have a backup secured and avoid stress.

– Have a meeting with the property’s sales or operational manager. A venue’s manager is usually in charge of communicating all the details to the staff and oversees everything so establishing a strong contact is highly recommended.

– If you do not have time to do a site inspection, ask your planner to do a live tour of the venue. This way, you’ll be able to feel the venue’s atmosphere.

– Ask for the time it takes you from your ceremony venue to your reception venue. No surprises allowed!

– Take your planner’s advice but also, but do not forget to trust your gut as well.
