Think about your attendees! Consider: is the space wheelchair accessible, are there accommodations on site for religious people, or is there air conditioning?
If Grandma is in a wheelchair, choose a flat space where all of the rooms are on one level. I have religious cousins who can’t drive on Saturdays until after sundown. Since The Garrison had a few rooms on site, my family was able to come up on Friday and be there for my 6:30 p.m. sunset ceremony. We brought in a special cake for our gluten-free friends and family. Tell women to wear appropriate heels if the ceremony will be held on grass or sand. And if your event is during the Summer months, for God’s sake, make sure there is AC. You can’t please everyone, but being considerate goes a long way (see: “should you have an open bar?” above).
