What to Look for In a Wedding Venue
It’s easy to get lost in the details when planning a wedding, so we recommend deciding your priorities for your wedding venue and letting them guide your decision-making. We love working with couples planning their wedding in the Detroit metropolitan area. Consider The Atrium Event Space in Southfield, MI, and check out our recommendations for what to look for when choosing the perfect wedding venue.
1. Ample Space for Guests
One of the most important factors when selecting a wedding venue is size. You want a location that can comfortably accommodate your guests. Consider the size of the spaces available and how the space will accommodate seating and dining spaces, photo opportunities, and games.
At the Atrium Event Space in Southfield, we offer flexible, spacious rooms ideal for small, intimate gatherings and larger events. Consider the Jefferson Ballroom for your wedding. It is almost 1,800 square feet, ideal for your wedding ceremony and theatre-style seating for the reception. The atrium is also a popular setting for your wedding ceremony where you can easily transition to the Jefferson Ballroom for your reception.
2. Amenities
Consider venues with amenities such as tables, chairs, linens, DJ lighting, and more. The Atrium Event Space offers all these and more, allowing you to focus on the fun details of your event, like décor, activities, and cuisine. Having these items included ensures you won’t need to source them separately, which can save time and money. Consider what amenities are most important to you and how they affect your budget.
3. Bar and Kitchen Access
Another consideration is the catering setup. Does the venue offer a bar or kitchen access? Having an onsite kitchen or bar makes catering much more efficient and guarantees your guests are well taken care of.
The Atrium Event Space has a fully equipped kitchen and bar, perfect for serving drinks, snacks, or a catered meal during your wedding. Whether you’re bringing in a caterer or using our recommended services, we ensure everything runs smoothly.
4. Convenient Location
Choosing a wedding venue in an accessible location ensures your guests can attend without hassle. The Atrium Event Space is conveniently located in Southfield, MI, just a short drive from the heart of Detroit. It’s easily accessible from major highways, making it a prime option for guests traveling across the Detroit metropolitan area.
5. Onsite Restaurant and Hotel
One of the unique advantages of the Atrium Event Space is its proximity to the restaurant Salt + Ko. We proudly offer onsite catering as well. If you have guests from out-of-town attending, they will also appreciate the convenience of staying onsite at the Radisson. The Atrium Event Center makes your entire event convenient, from the venue and amenities to the onsite restaurant and hotel.
6. Personalization
When booking a wedding venue, you want a space for personalization and creativity. Does the venue allow you to bring in your décor? Can the layout be arranged to suit your needs? The Atrium Event Space team works closely with you to ensure your wedding reflects your unique style. From lighting setups to seating arrangements, we offer flexibility so that your event is exactly how you envision it.
Wedding Shower Venue & Rehearsal Dinners
Wedding showers and rehearsal dinners are also special moments leading up to the main event, which is why we love hosting couples and their families every step of the way. Our onsite restaurant, Salt + Ko, is the perfect venue for hosting wedding showers, rehearsal dinners, and even cocktail hour on your wedding day.
