When choosing your accessible wedding venue, there are several things to keep in mind. Firstly, you need to establish your needs to ensure that your venue can meet them. Get specific with these - do you need ramps? Wide doorways? Disabled parking spaces?
Then it’s time to do some research and work out how to choose your wedding venue, also taking into account location, price and capacity. Looking at reviews from couples who have previously hosted accessible weddings is a great way to get some insight into a venue’s commitment to accessibility. Be sure to reach out to venues and visit them to make sure they’ll be appropriate on the day
Finally, don’t be afraid to advocate for your accessibility needs. Venue staff should be there to help you and answer any questions you may have, as well as assist you on the day if needed.
