To choose a venue for banquet, numerous factors must be combined, starting from number of guests up to weather conditions which might present unpleasant surprises in St.Petersburg at any season. Stylistics of the wedding also plays role - often the script itself indicates what kind of site should be chosen, or at least narrows down the range of options being considered.
Specialists from the “Royal Wedding” agency are skilled at finding suitable solutions for various weddings.
We know the most beautiful natural corners of Petersburg and region, restaurants with excellent cuisine and professional service, luxurious palaces and mansions available for rent for private events.
Each banquet venue has its own characteristics:
- Palaces are intended for ceremonies with a large number of invited guests. This is one of the most popular wedding venues in St. Petersburg, a city rich in historical and architectural heritage. Costumed balls, theatrical performances, formal dinners — any event requiring ambiance and solemn atmosphere will fit perfectly in a palace.
- Open-air locations by the shores of the Gulf of Finland or Neva River are very much sought after for outdoor registrations despite the fact that even in summer there remains a high risk of inclement weather. However, many couples consider a ceremony under big stylish umbrellas (which organizers would prepare) to be uniquely Russian and romantic.
- A restaurant’s hall or terrace — traditional options fitting for most weddings. They are convenient in terms of organizing a banquet and do not require special attention to weather conditions. Typically, establishment owners allow changes in seating arrangements and interior décor, making it possible to transform even the most ordinary room into a piece of art.
- Tent in a forest park area is a great location for an outdoor event whether it's a post-ZAGS banquet or staged registration. It protects against rain and wind while maintaining comfortable temperature using heat guns especially relevant for those dreaming of autumn gold decorated September-October weddings.
- Yacht, boat, motorboat or hydrofoil Not exactly typical venues for banquets although these cases occur in our practice too. Usually spacious yachts with banquet halls are rented, less frequently celebrations take place on open decks. But this option suits well for young couple’s cruise during the wedding day or transporting guests to the event site. Also, second-day wedding parties in intimate company can be arranged aboard yachts with lively entertainment.
This is, of course, a simplified picture: selection always takes place individually, taking into account even minor details. For us, it's important to find the perfect venue for hosting the banquet—we have dozens of locations in our list catering to various preferences and needs, and we've never failed to pick the right spot.
