The Venue
VENUE LOCATIONS
A few of the most common places where you can host
your quince are hotels, reception halls, restaurants and
someone’s backyard. All of them have details that work
for and against your favor. To help you decide which is
best for you, here is a side-by-side comparison of a few
of the details you need to consider.
The location for both your ceremony and reception play
a vital role in setting the ambiance of your quinceañera.
They are also important in helping execute the ideas
you have for decoration and theme.
Since both locations will depend greatly on whatever your
budget allows, you’ll need to consider the benefi ts and
disadvantages of each venue you visit. A few things to consider
are distance, space capacity, special accommodations, rental
permits and fees, outdoor/indoor spaces, décor limitations,
additional costs.
