The airwaves are flooded with wedding shows, which have today’s couples clamoring for unique, picturesque and unimaginable ceremonies. Wedding planners are tasked with adding personal flair to a couple’s wedding ceremony, including exceptional venues. Barns as wedding venues have gained so much popularity in recent years. The rustic, authentic and unique feel only barn weddings can put out add so much charm to a ceremony. If you’re a property owner looking to add to your facilities or to branch out by offering a one-of-a-kind wedding venue, count on a pre-engineered metal building by Arco Building Systems to suffice your needs.
How a Pre-Engineered Metal Building is the Perfect Investment for Your Wedding Venue
Nothing can create a unique wedding venue like a steel building can. A pre-engineered metal building can be completely customized to create a one-of-a-kind wedding experience. With flexible layout options and aesthetic customizability, venue owners can create an impressionable, notable and desirable wedding venue to satisfy any couple’s ceremony.
Customizability
Without even noticing it, you most likely visit a steel building when running errands and doing what you do around town. Pre-engineered metal buildings are incredibly common, but you would never know that given how well they can be designed and decorated. You might have a preconception that steel buildings must be industrial with a sterile feel to them, but they often times offer the most personality.
Steel buildings are common because they are cost-effective, quickly erected and can conform to your artistic vision, which we know is a priority when planning a wedding venue. The industrial look might be what you’d like, but steel buildings can conform to rustic, modern, classic and many more interior and exterior styles.
Flexibility
Wedding venues always feature at least one grand area that’s not only the perfect backdrop for pictures and memories, but they also provide enough square footage to host all of the event’s guests. No loved one or friend would be turned down at the door because the venue has a layout that allows the entire party to enjoy the ceremony. At the same time, wedding venues benefit from other facility options that allow wedding days to go smoothly.
A pre-engineered metal building would allow you to include a reception hall in addition to other areas such as a kitchen, storage closets or a foyer. Steel buildings do not have pre-determined layouts, so project planners can use the building’s flexibility to include a closet to store chairs and food preparation areas for events. Metal buildings are ideal for wedding venues because they can conform to the vision of the plans for your wedding venue.
Tips for Starting a Wedding Venue Business
Investing in a pre-engineered metal building is only the first step toward running a successful wedding venue business. Below are just a few tips to help you get started in the right direction to your happily ever after career.
1. Where to Open?
It’s a cliché, but location truly matters. Do you want a venue on top of a hill with vast scenery, or do you want your venue to be in the hub of a trendy downtown? Find out how many wedding venues are in your target area and what the market interest level is. If the competition level in an area were substantial, you might not be as successful there as you would if you were to set up shop in an area with minimal competition.
2. Don’t Wing It
Congratulations on pursuing a career in your passion: wedding planning. As the great Ray Bradbury once said, “Love what you do and do what you love.” That being said, you might have the fun parts of your wedding venue business figured out, but don’t forget the details that are essential to any company’s success. Research which management software will work best for you and set it up prior to investing in your property or even booking your first client. Prioritize the administrative details when starting your business.
3. Don’t Forego Marketing
Word-of-mouth will get you only so far. Remember that your wedding venue, albeit your passion, is a business first and foremost. The power of marketing is irreplaceable. Be on the top of your clients’ minds by increasing and sharpening your online presence, attending wedding expos and simply investing in marketing that will reach your target audience.
4. Expect Slow Seasons
As a wedding planner, you already know that weddings are far more popular during the summer than in the offseason. However, this reality might take you by surprise when you own and operate a wedding venue business. In short, if you have a slow season, anticipate that it will pick back up during the summer. Likewise, if you’re booked throughout the summer, brace yourself for a slight dip in business during the offseason. Given that, you’ll have to work to get clients even during the busy season; that’s why your wedding venue should offer a wide variety of amenities.
5. Offer Outdoor Options
Even if you invest in a pre-engineered metal building as your wedding venue, plan to build it in a picturesque area with great landscaping, a memorable backdrop and adequate areas to allow seating. A good portion of your clients will request an outdoor wedding. Your steel building will set you apart from these types of clients because it will offer a more-than-adequate option in the unfortunate case of rain on the proposed wedding date.
