Choosing Restaurants For Weddings In Manhattan

By Allyson Burke


The planning of the events that surround a wedding can be chaotic. Among the most important aspects to be wet is the venue for the additional functions such as the all-important rehearsal dinner. Choosing restaurants for weddings in Manhattan can be tough, but with a little planning it does not have to be an impossible task.

Among the most critical things to keep in mind about choosing a venue is that you need to act as fast as you can. As soon as you become engaged start looking at potential locations. In this city the most popular locations can be booked up as much as a year or more in advance. If you cant get one of your top list locations, its OK there are lots of other great hidden gems you can take advantage of.

Do try to book as far ahead for any venue as you can. This will ensure that you have the best chance to secure the space when you need it. You may also find that the venue is willing to offer you a better deal if you agree to a non-refundable deposit.

If there is no party room, pay the extra to rent out the venue for the evening. It is very awkward for the guests to feel like they are on display for the other patrons of the restaurant while at your event. The extra cost is well worth the comfort and enjoyment of your loved ones in attendance.

Enquire as to whether you can provide your own music for your rehearsal dinner. The use of music that is special to the couple or to the families will make for a much more intimate and memorable evening. If they cannot allow for this, then ask if the music in the space could be turned off completely for your rental.

If the venue offers a catering menu then take advantage of that instead of letting your guests choose from the regular menu. This will help control the costs that you have for the event. If there is a bar on site ask if a drinks package can be included, or better have your guests pay for their own hard drinks and you cover the wine.

Ensure that you guests are provided in their invitations clear directions to your venue as well as proper information on parking. This is many times a problem in Manhattan. Show your guests how much you care by making parking arrangements ahead of time and sending them prepaid parking passes with the invites.

Choosing restaurants for weddings in Manhattan is one of the most important aspects of setting up your wedding events. This can be an easy choice though if you give a little thought and planning to the task. Its important to remember that you should plan ahead as far as you can and be willing to compromise on locations.
