It goes without saying that you can’t have a wedding without a venue. After all, you need a place for your family and friends to gather and celebrate your special day! Your wedding venue can also set the tone for the rest of the details such as your theme, decorations, and seating plans, among others. Question is: How do you choose the right one?! While there are so many options available, there is that one venue which will make your heart skip a beat, and bring your wedding mood board to life. So, before you sign the contract, here are some important considerations to take note of when choosing your wedding venue.
The venue is usually a major part of a wedding planning to-do list, and may take up a good portion of your budget, so it’s important to choose one that satisfies your wants and needs whether that’s comfort, convenience, accessibility, budget, and the like. When you go on a venue ocular, take time familiarizing yourself with a venue’s layout and features to help you decide if it’s the right fit for your wedding or not.
One of the characteristics we appreciate about a venue is the flexibility. So, upon coming across Gallio Events Hall, we immediately admired all the options that are available. There are indoor and outdoor event spaces as well as halls and function rooms that can accommodate a grand guest count or a more intimate celebration. If you’re thinking of having a scenic cocktail hour before having your guests head inside and be seated, then Gallio Events Hall has the place for you to do just that.
Your guest list is something good to agree on during the early stages of planning as this can have an impact on the kind of venue you’ll select. Set at least a maximum number of guests to help you shortlist venues that have the space you require. Luckily, as I mentioned earlier, Gallio Events Hall has options for both larger and more intimate guest lists.
Gallio Events Hall features the Narra Hall, Acacia Hall, and Talisay Hall which can comfortably seat large groups, depending on your setup.
For intimate events, the Mahogany, Katmon, and Banaba function rooms can each welcome 50 of your loved ones. You can also choose to combine all three function rooms if you want a bigger space.
Your total budget and the portion you’ll be allocating for your venue is definitely a major factor. Think of how high the venue is on your priority list and what you’ll be needing specifically for your wedding. If you require a couple of amenities such as a private room to do an outfit change, ample space for guests and suppliers, a cocktail area, and photoshoot areas, you may want to invest in a venue that has all of the above.
What you’ll appreciate about a venue like Gallio Events Hall would be their packages that are priced at great value for money, and flexible options that may align with your budget and requirements.
Your guests and suppliers will love you for how convenient and easy to navigate your wedding venue is! Consider how close your accommodations, ceremony venue, and reception venue are from one another. The lesser time it takes to go from one point to the next, the easier it will be for you, your guests, and suppliers.
You won’t have to worry about travel time when your wedding venue is in a convenient location like Gallio Events Hall in the Manila Bay area. If you’re planning to have a Church ceremony, Gallio Events Hall is nearby Manila Cathedral, St. Alphonsus Mary de Liguori, Shrine of St. Therese of the Child Jesus, and the National Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, to name a few. As for preparations venues or hotel options, Gallio Events Hall is close to five-star hotels such as City of Dreams Manila, Okada Manila, Solaire Resort, Sofitel, and Conrad Manila.
Your venue should also complement your wedding vision. It should give you a solid base to create the kind of styling and design you imagine. For example, if you’re envisioning a wedding that is on the more classic romantic (think Bridgerton) feel, consider ballrooms or spacious indoor halls like Gallio Events Hall’s Narra, Acacia, and Talisay halls or the Katmon, Banaba, and Mahogany function rooms.
But if your aesthetic leans towards natural, organic, and rustic looks, go for venues like Gallio Events Hall’s Courtyard Garden, or Azotea. The Courtyard Garden is an open space with a cascading waterfall, a remarkable setting for elegant, outdoor parties. Meanwhile, the Azotea is a rooftop garden with a gorgeous view of the Manila Bay sunset!
More than being a space to hold your celebration, wedding venues can also be partners in planning your special day. Having a wedding venue supplier on your team that you can rely on for recommendations and planning expertise could give you much needed peace of mind. So, if you still need help searching for your wedding team, Gallio Events Hall has an extensive network of trusted wedding suppliers you can have access to.
