Every girls dream wedding begins with the thoughts of the perfect flower arrangements and the perfect dress. These are just some of the small details that are imprinted in our minds when fantasizing about our perfect night. Once our fantasy becomes a reality, we must acknowledge the more in-depth preparations. Wedding locations, for one, are the main but most tedious part of planning a wedding. Many questions such as; will all my guests fit, will the location accommodate my entire guest list or will I even be able to stay within my budget, may begin to develop in one’s mind. Well, have no worries, for the next couple of weeks I will help you answer all those questions and supply you with ideas and details on wedding venues that will make your dream wedding a reality.


First and foremost, when starting out with your location, the first thing you might want to think about is your theme. What kind of wedding are you having? - A traditional wedding where many locations can accommodate you? A beach wedding, where only chairs and a few decorations might be needed? A location can change the complete theme of your wedding. For instance, let’s focus on a beach wedding for today.

Things you might want to consider:

For the most part all we need for a beach wedding is a perfect ocean view, sand and great weather! There are thousands of beaches all around the world and many options you might want to consider.

Step 1: Choose the area where the beach you favor is located.
-There are beaches all over New Jersey. Some beaches are private and some aren’t. For the most part, you might want to reserve a location where others will not be interrupting.
-Keeping this in mind, take a walk around the local area. In areas where beaches are located you may be entitled to find a nice location for your reception.

Step 2: Budget
-Private beaches will amount to a cost. Remember to consider that you will be paying for the reservation on the beach, seating, location and site arrangements. If the price is too much, don’t be scared to continue to look around for more options. Remember the sky is the limit! Don’t settle for less!

Step 3: Reserve it
-If you have found the perfect beach, reserve it. It is important that once you have found what you want and it fits all your requirements, you reserve it immediately. Once the place is reserved, you have set the date and you can now move on to the next step in your dream wedding!
