Venue Suggestions
Today on the blog we are talking about venues.
Picking your venue is one of the biggest tasks that you will do for your wedding planning.
What do you look for when looking at a venue to be the backdrop to your special day? Well, let’s start off with what the vibe is on your day? Some couples go for a rustic or a rustic glam, or maybe you want it to look like a fairytale in a forest?
Maybe you have enough space on your property or a family member’s property and you want to rent a big white tent and party at the location that holds sentimental value?
There is no wrong answer!
But it is an overwhelming choice, and the availability determines the date you choose and the whole vibe of the wedding day.
When looking at a venue there will be a lot of things to consider that’s not just the style of the venue, but whether or not they provide catering, whether or not they provide the decor, and whether or not there is a location on-site or nearby that can be used for getting ready for both the bride and the groom, and even more!
Lots to consider. And the biggest thing would be to make sure that the vibe of the venue fits your vibe. You shouldn't book a venue just to book a venue.
Each venue is unique and it works for each set of people. It's awesome to see how a couple can take a venue and create a wedding reception that is 100% them. Each venue has its own charm and taste.
For example, Stonefields is a very country chic feel to it and that calls to one couple, while Aquatopia is a greenhouse that calls to another couple, or a venue downtown with a more industrial vibe would go with a more modern couple who fits that. Every venue has its own style and vibe so it’s a huge decision when booking your venue.
Below is a list of venues that I personally love and recommend taking a look at (in no particular order).
