How to Choose the Right Venue (When You Love Them All)
Choosing in Mexico City is not about finding “the least bad” option; it’s about learning to prioritize. Three practical filters:
-
Style and narrative: Classic solemn (Vizcaínas/Casino/Franz)? Urban editorial (Prim/MIDE)? Colonial intimate (Molino/Casa Lamm)?
-
Logistics: true capacity with dance floor, vendor access, hours, sound restrictions.
-
Team experience: in-house coordination, catering, backup weather plans, heritage protocols.
With these filters, the right place reveals itself—and when it does, everything else flows.
Production Tips That Make a Difference
-
Lighting: in historic venues, work with warm, focal, grazing light to make stone breathe.
-
Sound: confirm schedules and decibel limits (strict in Historic Center venues).
-
Setup: in cloisters/patios, use low-height decor so arches remain protagonists.
-
Flow: design an emotional route: welcome → ceremony → cocktail → dinner → dance floor.
-
Local vendors: know the venue’s rules, load-in/out schedules, and logistics. Avoid headaches.
