Bringing fiancé to look at venues

Did anyone bring along their fiancé to check out a couple of venues? Would love other opinions on this, or if is strange and not a good idea?

    Why wouldn't he come? It's his wedding too.

    FH would have loved to have gotten to tour venues together, but due to planning our wedding from across the country, this was not possible. I was actually only able to tour one out of the four venues we wanted to check out, myself! The one I toured, FH suggested that since I would be visiting my parents that I try to schedule venue tours while I was there since we knew we wanted to get married in my home state. Because this was a Christmas visit, we were I my able to get in to see the one venue. My parents offered to tour a few other venues on our list for us and report back with all the information.

    If we could have done it together, we would have, but we had full agreement between the two of us on the way we chose to go about touring venues.

    I think it's a good idea so you both get something you love not just yourself Smiley smile

    This is odd to me. We are both planning a wedding. I'm not planning it because I'm a woman and he's not?

    Personally, I don't go to any vendor meetings without FH, and he even handles some of the email/phone communication when I don't feel like it. I think the best part of wedding planning is working through it together. I don't know how I would make wedding decisions without him to bounce ideas off.

    Yep, he didn't say much at all lol the only question he asked was "can I get seconds on dinner?". We looked at a few venues but then we just picked one that we both loved (me mostly haha).

    FH and I have gone to all venue and vendor meetings together. It's our wedding so it's important to us that we make those decisions together.

    My fiance and I visited every venue together. He even did most of the research to find the different places.

    I'm confused why it would be weird to bring your fiance to pick out the place you will both be getting married? Or why you're asking us and not him?

    We might do a DW, so there meet not be any tours. If we do a local wedding, mine will be going with me. This is a huge decision and I am not going without him

    I just didn't know if other brides had brought their FH, sorry for asking those who seemed it was a problem I even asked this question. But I appreciate those who actually gave me their thoughts and what they did. Thanks!

    Why would you go without him? Unless you have conflicting schedules. It's just as much his wedding as it is yours. Yes, of course he should go. Grooms should be a part in wedding planning, too.

    FH is involved in all of the wedding planning. His opinion is just as important as mine!

    Seeing as to how this day is just as important to him, yes. He's been in every visit and meeting.

    We both went to all of the venues we had scheduled to visit, we wanted to be on the same page and both make informed decisions! I say bring him! ;-)

    I would never pick out anything regarding the wedding without FH's input. Except the dress! HaHa! I think it's important that it be the wedding you both want. It's his day just as much as it is yours.

    I did a lot of research on my own and showed him pictures of venues. Some were ruled out due to price and some he ruled out. The remaining 2 best options we went to see together and tell in love with one of them.

    My fiancé and I went to every venue together, that was the part of the planning he was most involved with. I think it's a really good idea to bring them, in our case, we each thought of questions to ask that the other hadn't, and we were able to discuss them right afterwards.
