You found your perfect match! The journey you take to get to I Do is unique for every couple! But when it comes to planning a wedding, there are some steps that will be the same. One of those? Finding a venue! ⁠
⁠
When it’s time to make your selection, there are five questions you’ll want to start with to ensure it’s a good fit for the two of you: ⁠
⁠
1. Can You Accommodate My Guest Count?⁠
2. What Dates Are Available?⁠
3. What Options Do I Have for Catering and Food Service?⁠
4. What Vendors Can I Choose From?⁠
5. What Is Included With My Venue Rental?⁠
⁠
We’re sharing more details about why you’ll want these answers (and what to do with them) on the blog. Follow the link.in bio! ⁠

One of the things that makes the big day what it is–the people you share it with! We often hear that one of the things that couples are looking forward to the most (aside from getting married, of course) is being with all of their friends and family in one place. 💕⁠

The ultimate "timeline hack" on your wedding day: a first look! Having time to take couple's portraits before your ceremony means you can spend less time post-nuptials, possibly even joining your guests during cocktail hour! There are loads of ways to ensure a smooth, efficient timeline (talk to your planner!), but we've definitely seen this help! ⁠
