The first step to wedding planning is choosing the best wedding venue to bring your special day to life, and sometimes it’s easier said than done!

There are so many factors to consider when choosing the perfect venue for your wedding reception, so with the help of the experts at The Epping Club, we’ve narrowed it down to the most essential requirements.

The Epping Club have given us the inside word on what you should ask your venue to provide and they’ve seriously helped simplify it for you, saving you wedding planning stress!.

Bridal Suite

If there’s one tip all past Brides will give you, it’s to ensure that you and your new hubby get some time alone on your Special Day to take it all in. The Epping Club provides couples with a private Bridal suite, ensuite and open-air terrace so the two of you can grab a moment away from the party in a luxurious setting.

All-Inclusive Wedding Packages

This is probably the most important tip; “All Inclusive Wedding Packages” will really help make your life easy when planning your wedding, particularly if you’re stretched for time and budget. The Epping Club is currently offering an $89 all-inclusive Wedding Package, covering every part of your reception from food and beverages to flowers, and linens! (BONUS: If you book before 28th February you’ll receive complimentary wedding night accommodation!).

In-House Stylist

As nice as it would be to have your very own stylist and planner, they definitely come at a price. Ask your venue if they have an in-house stylist included in their wedding packages, that can help bring your dreams to reality. The Epping Club offer the complimentary service of your very own in-house stylist, which is such a win!

Centrepieces

A Wedding wouldn’t be complete without a beautiful centrepiece, whether it’s flowers, candles or something more personal. Centrepieces can be costly to hire and time-consuming if you’re going down the DIY route. So ask your venue whether they have centrepieces as a standard inclusion in your package and you’ll have one less thing to worry about in the lead-up to the Wedding.

Parking

Save your close family members the hassle of finding and paying for parking, by ensuring your venue has complimentary car spots for close family and easy access for your elderly guests.

Canapes

Canapes are the perfect way to start the reception, get the mood going for the night ahead, and keep your guests hunger at bay until dinner is served.

Photoshoot Opportunities

Check that your venue has a variety of beautiful backdrops available where you and your hubby can pose from some memorable photos. The Epping Club has grand staircases, terraces and luxe foyers that make for the perfect backdrops to your Wedding photos.
