What to Prioritize in Your Wedding Venue, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Your wedding venue is one of the biggest (and most expensive) decisions you'll make during the wedding planning process. If you have no idea where to begin on your wedding venue search or you're having trouble narrowing down your list, consider your zodiac sign. While we know your zodiac sign can inform your exact venue, it can also help you understand what's important to you during the search. While fiery signs may be more focused on the amount of people present or making a bold statement, earth signs may be more concerned with logistics. It's no secret that prioritization is the name of the game when it comes to weddings, so we're here to help. See what you should focus on during your wedding venue search, and then head over to The Knot to book your dream location.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Uniqueness

As the first sign in the zodiac, you're a born leader. Embrace your fearless side by looking for a wedding venue that's one-of-a-kind and unexpected. Check out spaces like urban gardens, museums or even on the beach of volcanic islands, and find a wedding venue that's as unique as your love story.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): The View/Decor

As a Taurus, you love the finer things in life. You're drawn to beauty, and your wedding venue is no exception. Focus on places that offer sweeping views (like a vineyard or private beach) or a location that has gorgeous décor (like an elegant ballroom or historic building). Once you add final touches to your chosen destination, your wedding will be a dream come true.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Separate Spaces

The ability to adapt to different settings and situations makes Geminis extremely versatile in any scenario. Embrace your sign by opting for a wedding venue that has separate spaces for both the ceremony and the reception. (For example, a historic building with different rooms or a sprawling farm with separate areas.) That way, you can showcase your demure side for the nuptials and unleash your outgoing side on the dance floor.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Sentimental Value

The Cancer is known to be sensitive and emotional, so channel those strengths during your wedding venue search. Look for a space that holds a sentimental value for you and your boo. Consider your first date spot, the garden where your partner proposed or your favorite bookshop. Not only will it add a sweet touch to the day, it's a fantastic way to personalize your wedding.

Leo (July 23-August 22): Guest Capacity

Leos love to be the center of attention, so it's only fitting that you'd want all of your friends and family there when you say "I do." This dynamic personality should consider a large event space, like a historic ballroom, a chic loft or a stunning rooftop. Speak with potential venues before touring to see if they can accommodate the size of your guest list, and then enjoy having all eyes on you while you celebrate your love.

Virgo (August 23-September 22): Organization

Virgos are perfectionists who are always analyzing situations. Prioritize your detail-oriented nature by choosing a venue that is well-organized and renowned for its impeccable service. That way, there won't be any major mishaps on the actual day. Plus, you can relax and trust that the event will flow smoothly from the ceremony to the late-night snack party.

Libra (September 23-October 22): Compromise

Libras are all about balance and harmony, which means you'll want to find a venue that's the perfect compromise. Search for a venue that has something for everyone involved—like a big dance floor for you, a late night burrito bar for your S.O., and a gorgeous view for the parents. Use your unique ability to see the big picture to pick a spectacular wedding venue that makes everyone happy.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21): Good Service

Often mistaken for a fire sign, Scorpios are known to be intense. They're fiercely loyal friends—but when they feel wronged, they can get upset. To avoid any unnecessary stress or negative feelings on your wedding day, look for a venue that's filled with absolute pros. Whether it's a seasoned day-of coordinator or a wait staff that's on-point, having a top-notch team will help you enjoy the day to the fullest.

Sagitarius (November 22-December 21): Location

You're a worldly adventurer, Sagitarius. Infuse your bold, risk-taking tendencies into your nuptials by planning a destination wedding. Look for places that excite you and will help create an unforgettable experience. From castles in Europe to gardens in Asia to beaches in the Caribbean, the world is your oyster!

Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Budget

No surprise here, Cap. As one of the more disciplined signs (you're known to be the master planner), ensuring that you book a venue within your budget is your number one concern. Before setting up any venue tours at all, call ahead to make sure that the location is financially feasible. Be sure to double check the contracts for any hidden fees before you sign the dotted line.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18): Sustainability

Regarded as the progressive thinker and humanitarian of the bunch, it's no surprise you'd want to plan a sustainable wedding. Look for eco-friendly wedding venues that do their part to help the planet. Choose a spot that reduces your need for excessive waste, like a park, garden, backyard or beach and enjoy your green wedding.

Pisces (February 19-March 20): Potential

As a Pisces, you're one of the more creative signs. Rather than searching for a venue that has it all, look for spaces that have a ton of potential. Use your artistic side to envision what the space would look like after you've fully decked out. Imagine lush greenery hanging from the industrial pipes, a modern art installation in an elegant ballroom or a flower wall in your backyard. The sky's the limit.
