Choosing the perfect location for your wedding is perhaps the most complicated challenge of the “great day” (if we do not consider the challenge who to take by your side to the altar!). it can simply represent the place where the ceremony is held or, more extensively, a place where to celebrate even the days before the event and, why not, the days after, together with the closest friends.

For this reason, we have decided to help you to make an informed choice with a series of questions that you should ask yourself once you go to visit the location. Not all of them must necessarily apply to you, but they can be useful and come up later. But not everything revolves only to the choice of the place. There are a lot of other details that can make the difference and be decisive: suppliers, catering, the possibility to play music, access to animals and much more!

Having this check-list to hand will avoid unpleasant inconveniences as well as helping you to identify if the place is really what you are looking for.
