Don’t Make These Mistakes When Booking an Outdoor Wedding Venue in Chennai

Having an outdoor wedding at an elite convention hall in Chennai is a dream of many! It is the perfect setting surrounded by stunning beach views, lush green gardens, beautiful architecture and. While this looks amazing to the imagination, it also comes with its own set of challenges. Picking the right  venue can make your big day truly one to remember forever.

To avoid unnecessary stress and to help you navigate the wedding process smoothly, we have made a list of mistakes to avoid when booking your outdoor wedding in the city of Chennai.  

Skipping the  site visit 

One of the foremost things you should do before booking the venue for the outdoor wedding is to do a site visit. It is even better if you can do multiple visits at different times of the day to gauge the look and feel of the place. Photos can be deceiving and you can easily miss important details like cleanliness, parking facilities, lawn size and more. Visiting the place beforehand can give you an idea of the area and also the functionality, which can help in fixing your wedding celebrations there. 

Not considering the weather conditions 

Chennai has a tropical climate with the summer and rainy months being ones to really take note of. Summer falls between March to June and the weather can easily get humid, hot and unpredictable. These can be a recipe for mishaps when it comes to outdoor weddings. You need to take into consideration the monsoons  too which falls between October to December, where the significant  point to note are the unexpected showers. Always check the weather forecast beforehand and have a chat with the venue staff for backup options for surprise weather conditions.  Overlooking inaccessibility for the guests

Some elite convention halls with outdoor spaces are located in the outskirts of the city or in remote areas for the scenic views. While these venues may look stunning, they can often cause accessibility problems for the guests attending the wedding and ceremonies over multiple days and for those who are unfamiliar with the venue. Consider the convenience of the guests and choose a venue that is accessible or one that provides transportation services from the city to the destination. If the venue has extra accommodation available in the area, you can score bonus points on that. 

Not checking for backup power options 

Power cuts cause disruption and when it happens in the middle of a wedding celebration, it can cause havoc and leave your guests without lights, air coolers, food service or music. Before booking the venue, make sure they have proper electrical backup options like generators or UPS backup and also test when you’re making your pre-wedding visit. Ensure all the main areas like the stage and dining areas are covered and the sound systems also work without any hiccups.
