After a full day of 💄 getting ready, 👰‍ walking down the aisle, 💋 saying "I do," 🥳celebrating with friends and family, 🕺 then dancing the night away... It makes sense that the bride and groom sit down to enjoy a nightcap before starting their honeymoon 😍

🥂 Comment CHEERS if you agree!

We know all eyes are on the bride, but what about the groom?!

It's just as important for the groom to enjoy the entire day, from getting ready with his boys to getting down on the dance floor... So we've created a stellar Groom's Suite with plenty of room to kick back and relax, or get up and start the celebration!

Hi, I’m Chelsey and these are the sweet faces behind the scenes that push me towards bigger and better Exchange Weddings year after year. I bring 15 years of logistics management and hospitality experience to the planning table. Will YOU be sitting with me in 2025??

In 2024, we launched a new package for All-Inclusive Weddings and it has been our most popular booking since launch day. Our couples have LOVED the ease and simplified planning process resulting in picturesque stress free wedding days.

Here is what our latest All Inclusive Bride had to say about her experience.

“Hi Chelsey! Trevor and I wanted to thank you again for everything you and your team did for us this past weekend. It truly was the perfect day! You all made sure it was the wedding of our dreams and we couldn’t be more grateful. I know that we brought some craziness and A LOT of people but you always calmed my stress and made sure it was perfect. We truly appreciate all that you did and could not have imagined a more perfect day!”
-Micah

We have a few tour spots available for the remainder of the year, don’t let booking your ideal date pass by!

How to Determine Your Décor Budget (3 of 3)

Make a List of Your Wedding "Nice-to-Haves"
Next, compile a list of additional décor elements that would enhance the overall aesthetic but are not essential. These could be items such as signage, accent furniture, specialty lighting, linens, cake stands, candle holders, or other items that may not be unique to your love story, but help set the scene. It’s items like these that can really take a toll on your original budget, which is why we’ve created the “Something Borrowed” Décor Closet at The Exchange (available with EVERY venue rental starting in 2024!)

The Exchange is the Lake Area’s ONLY industrial-chic venue. It offers a truly unique charm that elevates every wedding to an elegant experience. In this guide, we’ll break down how to turn this charming canvas into a truly personalized and immersive experience of your love story for your wedding...

Make a List of Your Wedding "Must-Haves"
Once your total budget has been decided upon, it’s time to start determining which aspects of your wedding mean the most to you. For your décor, create a list of essential elements that are non-negotiable for your dream wedding. These typically include the arbor & backdrop display for your vows, the head table centerpiece and backdrop, floral arrangements, and any specific decorative items that hold special meaning to you.
