1. After your engagement, have time for yourself

Before you leave the world with the joyful news of your engagement or fall into the flow of wedding preparations, stop for a moment and focus on each other. Now the most important you both are and the celebration of this wonderful moment. It is even possible that these are the last moments of peace for you, especially if you plan to get married quickly.


2. Tell your family and friends

First inform about the engagement of your loved ones, I mean mainly family and those who are closest to your heart. It's good to do this before announcing the joyous news on social media.Let's announce the joyful news by phone or personally if you have the opportunity. Preparation of some cake and champagne is welcome.

3. Set a wedding date


The most desirable wedding dates and locations are booked well in advance, so setting a wedding date should be a priority. Practice shows that wedding venues in Poland are reserved up to two / three years ahead. Therefore, right after the engagement, determining the date of the wedding is actually the most important, if you are planning a wedding in Poland.

4. Guest list


Before you start looking for a place for a wedding in Poland, think about the size of your wedding and whether you want to organize it at all.
The list of guests and the type of wedding ceremony are extremely important, because they give information about what budget you need to set and which place to celebrate the wedding you will be looking for.

5. Set a budget


This is a very important point, because the budget includes the costs of the photographer, music band, decoration, catering, wedding dress and suit etc. Therefore, you must be sure that you will be able to cover all expenses.

At this point, I encourage you to use the services of a wedding planner who will help you draw a reliable budget for wedding in Poland. The Wedding Planner will help you also find the best services and place that will make your wedding special, regardless of how high your budget is.

Here are a few short words about the wedding budget in my article: Wedding budget - how to plan expenses for weddings.

6. Think about the venue for wedding in Poland


Remember, you now have two families. Therefore, it is a reasonable idea to find a wedding venue in Poland where everyone will have convenient access.

7. Vision of the wedding in Poland

What is your imagine of the wedding day? What decorations dominate? What colors and style? Do you dream of an outdoor wedding, or maybe in a beautiful palace interior? After dealing with the most important issues, which is the budget, guest list and wedding date, it's time for ... dreams. This is the time when you search thousands of catalogs in search of inspiration.

I hope my guide will help you clarify things related to things to do right after your engagement, especially if you are planning a wedding in Poland.
Have a happy planning!

WEDDING VENUES IN POLAND - QUESTIONS

Here are 8 questions that you must ask yourself when organizing a wedding and choosing a place.

1.    Can you afford the venue that you like?  
First, before you make any venue decisions, you need to make a draft wedding budget. Don’t torture yourself and keep a 50,000 PLN venue on your list when you can really only afford 20,000 PLN. It’s just going to waste your time.

2.     Does this venue’s capacity fit your estimated guest list?
It is worth stressing that at the beginning of the search you should know for how many guests is preparing a wedding. Of course it does not have to be an exact number of guests, you only need to know whether the guests will be 50 or 150.

3. What is the cost of renting a venue with catering?
The cost of the wedding venue  is for many couples a key issue during the organization of the wedding. It is worth remembering, that the cost for a menu per person is not the final price to be considered when choosing a place for a wedding. Costs should include issues such as:

• Are cakes and decoration of the venue included in the price?
• Is the additional fee for bringing your own alcohol?
• How much is the deposit?
• Does the same price apply to children, vendors such as: DJ, photographer?
• Do you have to pay extra for media such as electricity, gas, water?
• Are unlimited soft drinks included in the price?
• Will the price change when the number of guests decreases?
• Is the car park for guests extra paid?
• Are there extra costs for renting a place?

4.  Does this venue’s available space fit your needs? 
For example, if you’re doing ceremony, cocktails, and reception all in one venue, does it have three separate spaces for all of those events?


5. Does the venue have one or more wedding reception rooms?

Wedding venue often have several halls. It is worth to know beforehand whether or not your ceremony and reception will take place in the building with another one. If so, how will venue separate from each other those events?

6.  Consider location. Are you agree with needing to provide transportation for guests from a hotel to your remote venue?


7. Does the wedding venue have accommodation facilities?

If you are organizing a wedding where you expect guests living far away, it is worth finding out how many rooms are available on site.

8. Does this venue have any catering restrictions? Can you tweet a menu? Sometimes a venue makes you use one exclusive caterer. Other times you were dreaming of having your favorite food from available restaurant menu cards.

My advice: The most frustrating part of finding a venue is the initial research. The venues and their websites are all completely different and they offer a variety of information in complete package or not. If you can’t find answers on a venue’s site, make a list with your questions  and use contact with venue via email. Once you’ve done your initial online research and have a list of places for wedding you’re interested in, I recommend going back to the venues you like the most and organizing for yourself a visit in those venues.
