There are definite pros and cons of both options, and choosing either avenue can have a direct effect on your budgeting, the mood & ambience you want to create, the food and virtually every other aspect of the reception. Let’s start with the benefits and challenges of hosting everything indoors.
The main benefit to holding the reception indoors is that you can have your wedding reception during all four seasons of the year without worrying about the weather outside. It also allows you to control the environment, not just through using basic heating and air conditioning which is obvious, but also through the use of audio/visuals, lighting, flowers, the stage, the dance floor and the dining tables. Of course some of these elements apply to the outdoors too, but it’s a lot easier to plan for an indoor reception when you know you’re not going to have to move guests or have a contingency plan should the environment outdoors change.
On the other hand, an outdoor wedding reception could give you and your guests a view and feel that only Mother Nature can provide. The best banquet halls, likethe Royal Ambassador, will offer acres and acres of luscious green and vibrant parkland that serves as a great backdrop for your special celebration. Taking things outdoors can also prove to be a lot more cost effective because you won’t need to rent as big of a brick and mortar space to accommodate your party.
