Don't: Pick a spot that's far away from your reception.
Keeping your ceremony space close to your reception is the easiest way to simplify your planning and cut down on logistics, like figuring out how your entire bridal party is going to get from the ceremony to the cocktail hour. Book a ceremony venue that's nearby or at the same place as your reception and you'll have more time for things like photos and mingling with your guests at cocktail hour.
