Are you embarking on planning your wedding? Then surely the most critical point is the actual selection of the venue where you will say your I do's to each other. Before you start thinking about what venue you would like to have your wedding at, think about your budget. Once you have estimated your budget, then you can more easily figure out approximately how many guests to invite, which can lead to a narrower choice of venues. When considering a suitable venue for your wedding, think about whether you would like to have your wedding reception at the same place. If not, then possibly how far away you would like to have the reception and whether accommodation for your guests is also provided.
The time of year will also play a big role in choosing the perfect venue. If you want to have a sun-drenched wedding, then a warm long summer night with outdoor seating will certainly be better for you. If you like the winter season, then choose the indoors of a barn, guest house or castle instead.
However, remember to be guided by your feelings! It is very important that you feel happy and content in the venue. Therefore, it is advisable that you look at the venue in person and try to imagine your entire wedding there.
Outdoor or indoor wedding
Such traditional wedding venues tend to be churches or city offices. A church is sure to impress you with its grandeur and architecture, and above all, a strong atmosphere. On the other hand, with city offices, you will appreciate the speed and cost-effectiveness. While such venues do not bring more emotion to the atmosphere, you will not have to deal with decorations or a wedding officiant and you will be newlyweds within 15 minutes.
Would you like to have your wedding outdoors in a beautiful setting? Are you tempted by the fresh breeze and pleasant sunshine during your reception? Chateau Catering has experience with breathtaking venues in the Pardubice, Hradec Králové and Central Bohemia regions.
Wedding at the lake
How about a wedding by the lake? The gentle ripples gradually washing the lake beach will give you a peaceful feeling. Such a setting will be almost poetic and the bride's dress will shine as much as the sun's rays on the water surface. You can have your wedding ceremony on the pier, but also on land with a view of the entire lake.

Wedding in a barn
A barn wedding is a great option for those who want to be out of the big city centre with only their family and friends. It will provide a magical atmosphere where you will be surrounded by only the surrounding nature and natural materials. You will have the power to be outside as well as inside throughout your wedding.

Wedding in hotels, restaurants or guesthouses
Hotels, guesthouses and restaurants are frequent wedding venues. Although such places do not overflow with a romantic atmosphere, you will be guaranteed a menu. In the case of hotels and guesthouses, the accommodation of the guests will be an additional advantage.

Wedding at the castle or in their gardens
Are you dreaming of a romantic wedding in a chateau? The chateau premises, the chateau courtyard or the park are ideal for outdoor weddings and receptions. In this magical and romantic setting, there will be an undisturbed pleasant atmosphere, which will be enhanced by the architecture itself. The bride will feel like a real princess and the groom like a prince.

Wedding at the castle
Castles are large architectural buildings that evoke very strong impressions. A wedding in a castle is not only romantic and unforgettable, but also magnificent. Be inspired by our wedding in a castle.
Farmhouse or farm wedding
Are you a lover of horses and other animals? Then a farm is the ideal choice for you. You will be close to the stables, but also a pond or orchard. A farm will give you plenty of privacy, plus the possibility of accommodating your guests. A farm wedding, on the other hand, will transport you to the past, when the picturesque countryside was closest to us, and will create a very pleasant atmosphere.
A wedding on a single site
Don't want to drive separately to the wedding reception after the ceremony? Then consider a one-stop wedding. This will allow you to move straight from the ceremony to the reception, where you will also spend the rest of the evening. It will take the worry out of getting around. If your wedding is far from home, find out if there is parking on site or nearby within walking distance. Don't forget to accommodate your guests, so they can celebrate with you until the end and don't have to leave too soon.

Wedding venue decoration
After choosing a venue, it is important to know what all is included in the rental price. Sometimes it can be additional services such as the decoration and decoration itself or the wedding reception. If the wedding decoration and decoration will be up to you, we have some advice for you.
The floral decoration is important. You can match this with the bride's bouquet as well, depending on the venue. Be creative. Apart from flowers, you can tie ribbon bows on the chairs. Practical and very pretty are then the lights themselves , which you can wrap around a pole or hang in different ways. You can also use lanterns, tea lights and other additional lighting. If you have a set colour for your wedding, match the decorations to that certain colour. Place coloured glasses with numbers on the table to make it easier for your guests to arrange their seating arrangements. You can also stick your wedding menu on a stick for your guests in the form of a popsicle.
