A wedding location needs to be the right size based on the number of quests that are present. Cramped or small wedding locations tend to decrease the likelihood that everyone will have a good time and may even result in guests leaving early.
Be sure to interview the staff at the wedding location as well as go out and actually take a look at the facility, regardless of who makes the recommendation. It is always a good idea if both the bride and groom attend the interviews and showings to ensure it is exactly what you both want and expect.
Country clubs, golf course facilities and even gym clubs may have auditoriums or reception rooms that may make a terrific spot for both the wedding and the reception. Often members of the club will get a significant discount, so you may want to find out if anyone in the family has a membership to one of these facilities.
