Are you currently scouting Hamptons wedding venues? One of the biggest questions you have to face is whether you would like an indoor or outdoor wedding. Here are some of the points to consider in making this big decision.
The guest list. Is it going to be a big, or a small wedding? If you want a simple ceremony leading to a sit-down reception for about twenty people, an indoor space may be all you need, although nothing stops you as well from holding it a la Miranda Hobbes in Sex and the City, in a small garden. Or like Carrie Bradshaw in the movie, who rented the New York Public Library for a guest list of 200.
Think of your theme. Do you fancy an opulent wedding that’s Great Gatsby-esque? An indoor venue will be easier to execute, décor-wise. Or would you like a more laid-back beach wedding? Obviously you need to hold it outside, where you and your future husband can probably look at where the sun strikes the sea as you get married. A rustic get-together in a barnyard, meanwhile, can be held inside or outside.
How is the weather and season? When do you want to hold your wedding? While the weather forecast for the specific date is impossible to know a year ahead, you need to prepare contingency measures in case it rains on your big day. If it will be on fall or winter, an indoor wedding may be more ideal, but may be you’d like the colors of autumn or the enchanting snow-covered trees and ground to be your wedding’s backdrop. You can still hold it outside, for as long as your guests are protected from the elements. After all, Phoebe Buffay in Friends was able to pull a winter wedding off, on a day a blizzard hit New York (although they most likely held the reception indoors)!
Keep in mind the special touches you want. Sometimes it all boils down to the little things you would like to see or have for your party. Maybe you’d like to be outside to dance under the moonlight with your groom, or watch fireworks mark the day of your union. Or maybe you want to listen to an orchestra play your favorite songs, in a room with good acoustics. Then an indoor space is the ideal pick.
The Southampton Social Club of New York is one of today’s finest Hamptons wedding venues. Whether you intend to hold your wedding it indoors or outdoors, they can serve as your perfect venue for this special day.
