When you are planning your wedding, finding the ideal place to say your nuptials is probably the most important item on your to-do list. Choosing the perfect wedding reception venue should be next in line. At Lake St. Louis Banquet Center in Missouri, they can accommodate both your wedding and reception, while helping you plan every part of your big day to make it unforgettable for everyone who attends.  

Here are a few tips you should consider to help you choose the perfect wedding reception venue:

• Determine Space Needs: Figuring out the number of people on your guest list is only half the battle. Some other essentials also need to be accounted for, including tables, chairs, a buffet area, a DJ or band, and a dance floor. An empty room can trick you into thinking it will be large enough to hold everything you will need at your reception; a good rule of thumb is to ask if it is acceptable to get a peek at the venue when another wedding reception is taking place.
• Consider Privacy Options: An outdoor wedding reception venue will put the least restriction on the size of your party. However, at most outdoor locations, you will not be able to keep outsiders from watching or walking into your event. If privacy is a concern to you, you might want to consider an indoor reception. 
• Don’t Forget About Lighting: The lighting at your reception is important, as it helps to set the mood of the event. The best way to determine if the venue you are considering will have the right type of lighting effect is to see it during the same time of day your actual reception will be. If you are looking at a space with no window light, find out if it offers lighting control options.
