Fun Places for Your Wedding Reception

Your wedding reception should be fun and the choice of venue will go a long way to determine this. A lot of receptions are held in rental halls or typical ballrooms which may lead to the event being turned into a formal one. However, if you want a lively reception location that guests will not forget in a hurry, I have a few suggestions for you.

Hotels

Even though a hotel ballroom may feel like a traditional choice for your reception, which may seem boring, there are many good reasons for making use of a hotel. The fact that guests know that they can easily get to bed will enable them to enjoy themselves to the fullest in a reception held in a hotel. A lot of people will relax and party when they do not worry about driving home or to an unfamiliar place at night when the party has ended. If you feel that a hotel is not the best choice for you, you can go for a themed or boutique hotel in order to steer clear of hotel chains.

Museums, Zoos or Other Cultural Sites

You can make use of these venues for your wedding reception because there are many interesting things for guests to see. These things have the capacity of starting off conversation between guests and make them to mingle well. You can also use any of these venues to showcase your history or personalities as a couple. You can decide to hold the reception at the aquarium where your first date was held. On the other hand, you can make use of a museum that portrays your shared interest in a particular field.

Place with Games

Even though majority of your guests may be too old for 'Pin the Tail on the Donkey', which is common at parties, they will still appreciate a bit of friendly competition. You can throw your wedding reception at a boardwalk, an arcade or rent a room at a bar with dart boards and pool tables. You can also make use of a park or large backyard and set up games such as croquet and horseshoes.

Your Special Place

Your favorite local hangout can also be an ideal place for your wedding reception. The park where you walk your dog every weekend or a comfy pub where you visit regularly can be a perfect location for your reception. You can also make use of your friend's backyard or the alumni center of the university you attended, where you will only hire a wedding DJ to thrill your guests. When you throw your party at a place that is special to you as a couple, you will enjoy yourselves and your guests will enjoy the insight into the lives of both of you.
