Couples who want to get married in a swanky yet romantic location can visit London and check out the wedding venues available there. No place is too extravagant or bizarre for a wedding reception, may it be the Alexandra Palace or Big Ben. There are even couples who choose to wed at the West end theatre and football club!

Because you must pick your venue very carefully, consider these factors to find out which wedding reception venues London is best for you:

· Decide on a theme or style

What kind of wedding celebration you would like to have? Consider your personal style in answering this question. But, just because you are a very modern chic doesn't mean that you can't choose to host a renaissance themed wedding.

The theme and style you pick will help determine the kind of wedding venue that you can use. Keep in mind that your options are not limited to hotels, country clubs, restaurants, or banquet halls. Look beyond the common venues, think of the museums, parks, historical sites, and castles in London.

· How many guests do you expect to come?

At this point, you have already decided where to hold wedding celebration. Great! But before you head out to visit several wedding venues, there is still one thing that must be considered - the capacity of the room or venue.

It could be the most stunning venue, but if it can only accommodate 100 people when you have invited about 300 guests, it is of no use. Cramming them into a small facility could only turn your elegant wedding into crowd of annoyed guests.

· Find your wedding venue

Locate venues that meet the first 2 given criteria. You can search online or contact a wedding planning company to easily find venues that comply with your requirements. Then, arrange for ocular visit for each venue on your list. Finally, decide which one to rent.
