How to Cause a Location Sensation

1. Wedding locations fall into two categories

Self-contained locations describe sites that provide all the services you'll need at your wedding-from food and beverage to tables and chairs, china and even the wait-staff. These sites, such as hotels or country clubs, are ideal for the brides who want convenience and ease when planning because all of the services are coordinated centrally.

Off-site locations, on the other hand, provide few to no services, so all these details, from catering to party supply rentals, must be arranged separately. These locales, such as private homes, historic houses or a barn, are made for the brides who want the freedom to pick and choose vendors as they please.
