1. The distance of the reception hall and the officiating location should be taken in consideration if they are in two different locations
2. If the reception hall is not in a hotel space, the distance to residential buildings should be considered. The last thing you want on your wedding day is the police showing up to tell you that the neighbors complain of loud music, and eventually shutting down your party.
3. Stay away from black ceiling at the reception hall, white or neutral color ceiling is a better choice for the wedding photographer.
4. Location, location, location. Make sure the location of the reception hall is easily accessible for guests.
5. Above all, the host of the reception hall must be easily accessible on your wedding day, and must be easy to work with.
