If you run a wedding venue, you won’t need us to tell you what a competitive industry it is. If a couple feels that what you offer is in any way below the standard they expect for their perfect day, they’ll look elsewhere very quickly – and the reality is there are so many places to choose from these days.
So your venue has to stand out. And, as well as the effectiveness of its marketing, the success of a wedding venue depends to a large extent on its uniqueness and location.
Interior décor, customer service and packages to suit all budgets are also clearly all important. Equally, there are numerous marketing tactics you can adopt, from virtual tours to social media ads, investing in your website and so on.
But one thing you may not have considered is how maximising use of your outdoor space and making it a bigger feature of your venue could help couples decide to book with you for their big day rather than one of your competitors.
And given that these occasions typically have quite high guest numbers, your inside areas could fill up pretty quickly. So it’s understandable that, weather permitting, some guests are going to want to drift outside and enjoy a bit more space and some fresh air.
One thing to keep in mind is to furnish your outdoor space so that it looks every bit as elegant as your rooms inside, so that the al fresco part of your venue doesn’t look bare, and to give consistency across your site. And it’s nice to be able to offer somewhere people feel encouraged to mingle, eat and drink and generally enjoy being outside.
Clearly, people will need somewhere to sit and rest their glasses and plates. A luxury teak folding table is one thing which you may not have considered previously. But this option offers myriad benefits, including great flexibility since, of course, you can move these tables around in no time, and set them up exactly where they’re needed. Equally, these items are easy to store when you’re not using them, since they fold away to save space. So if, for example, it starts to rain, you can put the tables away and move people under cover quickly. Ideal in unpredictable British weather!
So, whether you run wedding venues in North Yorkshire or anywhere else, furniture like this can make a huge difference. It’s sturdily reliable as well as looking smart and stylish and works well in a location such as a patio or terrace, where space may be limited.
You could also consider completing your furniture with matching parasols and chairs. Plus teak chairs come in an array of designs, whether you’re looking for a traditional style or something a little more up-to-date.
Finally, especially if you go for a table from an ecologically managed plantation, teak tables are a sustainable option.
So, at a time when so many venues are competing for bookings, you need to understand how you can make yours stand out. Beautifully furnished outside areas could be one way of doing just that.
