Hello, my fiancé and I are completely torn between two venues and we need some help.
Venue 1) hometown/local winery: we would have a fall outdoor ceremony and the reception is inside a green house. We love the location (7 mins from home). The location is different in a good a way. There are picnic tables, and industrial tables that people can sit at to get their time away. There are three bonfire locations and we can have activities during the cocktail hour while we take pictures. Downside: we get 6 hours at the venue and it is in a residential neighborhood.
Venue 2) located approx. 30 mins from home. Some guests would need to drive an hour away. This location is in a national park and it is beautiful. It has the country romantic feel that we were looking for. The great hall of the lodge is beautiful and I could see us enjoying the space. We can take pictures on site and the location. This was our dream location until we saw the other one. Downside: We need to have a Sunday wedding because of the costs; liquor is more expensive for “well” drinks; distance; not flexible with outside vendors (we’re paying $600 extra to bring them in); lodging is one house near the national park that sleeps 30 people.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
