What Criteria Should I Use to Choose a Wedding Venue?

The first hurdle in wedding preparation is choosing a wedding venue.

It's not an exaggeration to say that the type of venue you choose determines the atmosphere of your wedding. That's why you want to select a wedding venue where you can genuinely say, "I'm really glad I was able to get married here."

However, venue visits and selecting a venue can be a first-time experience.

Many prospective brides may wonder what criteria to use and how to choose!

Many Brides Are Focusing on the Chapel♡

What often comes up as a decisive factor from experienced brides is something along the lines of "I fell in love with the chapel at first sight."

Many brides feel a strong connection and think, "I want to vow my love here!" the moment they see the venue.

The chapel, where the main ceremony of the wedding takes place, is a very important location. Thus, it is quite natural to select your wedding venue based on the chapel♡

While practical aspects like access and cost are certainly important, it's also crucial to feel "I love this space!" when making your choice.

Let's introduce the aspects of chapels that made experienced brides fall in love at first sight.

Brides who are beginning their venue search can use this as a reference＊

Chapel Deciding Factor ① A View of the Outside

Many brides mention "A chapel with a view of the outside" as a decisive factor in choosing a wedding venue.

Chapels with glass walls at the front of the altar allow for ceremonies in the soft natural light streaming in through the windows.

It's also charming to feel the changing seasons through the trees outside—cherry blossoms in spring, vibrant greens in summer, and autumn leaves in fall.

Chapels with a view of the outside create a much more mature ambiance during nighttime weddings♡ The twinkling illuminations visible through the windows are incredibly romantic.

If the ceremony is held during the day, doing the pre-shoot at night allows you to enjoy two different atmospheres of the chapel＊

Chapel Deciding Factor ② Stained Glass

Popular among brides who dream of a classical ceremony is the chapel with luxurious stained glass.

A ceremony held surrounded by beautiful, colorful stained glass offers a majestic and vibrant atmosphere.

The size and design of the stained glass vary by venue, so be sure to check carefully.

Some venues feature stained glass pieces adorned with real jewels, making them quite valuable…!

In chapels surrounded by stained glass, it's possible to take romantic wedding photos resembling scenes from a movie.

The atmosphere can feel as powerful as a European church. It’s easy to see why many brides fall in love with the beauty of stained glass and choose their venue based on it.

Chapel Deciding Factor ③ Pure White

Some brides fall in love with "a pure white chapel." A chapel unified in white for the ceiling, walls, and the bridal aisle has a very sacred atmosphere.

A pure white wedding dress and veil in a completely white chapel encapsulates the very image of a wedding that many brides envision in their minds♡

Bridal flowers in the chapel also should ideally include pure white roses and peonies.

Chapel Deciding Factor ④ High Ceilings

Some brides cite "ceiling height" as a deciding factor.

A chapel with high ceilings offers a sense of openness that is truly overwhelming. You can experience a special atmosphere that feels different from everyday life＊

Even with a large number of guests attending, a high ceiling prevents any feeling of crampness.

Chapel Deciding Factor ⑤ Natural

For brides planning a natural wedding, chapels filled with greenery that make you feel like you're having a garden ceremony are quite popular.

This chapel has a large tree planted inside, and the bride fell in love with that atmosphere♡ It was the first place where she felt, "I will have my ceremony here."

The wooden floor of the chapel also adds a lovely natural touch＊

There are also chapels like this one where you can see a green wall through the windows♡

It evokes a wedding in the forest, surrounded by abundant nature.

Chapel Deciding Factor ⑥ Long Aisle

The final deciding factor we'll introduce is the length of the aisle that you will walk down with your father. This aisle symbolizes the bride's life.

The time spent walking down the aisle with your arm linked with your father feels long yet happens in an instant. Many brides desire the longest possible aisle to savor that emotional moment for as long as they can!

It is said that the average length of a bridal aisle is 10 meters. Brides who want to pay attention to length may want to visit venues longer than that♡
