When it comes to putting together your wedding theme, your choice of location for your wedding reception is an integral part.
As your wedding theme will be mostly played out at your reception you will want to use the same ideas as you have expressed in your wedding stationery & your ceremony. Your reception should be a fun place to be, free from all the formalities of the ceremony, so you should aim to make the reception as comfortable & as welcoming as possible.
To create a unique wedding reception you need to think outside of the box & search for an unusual & creative location. If you want to wow your guests then the local town hall probably won’t do it, no matter how much effort you go to with the decorations. Finding a unique location will help unleash your inner creativity & help you to produce a reception that is totally your own design.

However, there are some essential details that you have to consider when it comes to planning your reception, no matter where you host it.
1. Weather / Environment - is the wedding reception inside or out?
2. Setup - If it is a non-traditional location then think about the following:
Power supply?
Parking?
Distance? Will your guests be prepared to drive there?
3. Cleanup, setup - A traditional wedding venue will have a system for cleaning up in place. Make sure you enquire about this when you book, if they don’t have any system in place, then you will need to make arrangements for it to be done.
4. Theme - Will the location fit with your chosen theme? You don’t have to have a theme of course, but having one does help you to design the whole feel of your wedding.
5. Wow Value - If the wow factor is important, will this location give it? If you are not sure, then take some friends back with you for another visit & gauge their opinion.
Truly Unique Wedding Reception Locations
Cleared corn fields. For a rural, country or rustic theme this would be ideal. Imagine it set out with a marquee, dance floor & a country & western band.
Sports Venues. If you or your partner have a favorite sport why not hold your reception at a sports ground? Look at golf, football or baseball grounds.
High Rise Roof. Hold your wedding on the top of a skyscraper for an exhilarating & memorable party. It maybe pricy & any guests with a fear of heights may be reluctant to attend!
Your choice of venue doesn’t have to be so unusual it will cost you a fortune to hire or worse still you will probably never find it. There are plenty of more common venues that can have just the right blend of uniqueness & wow that you are looking for. Try gardens, museums, beaches, lakes & mountains, farms, barns & vineyards.
