While some of us have all the details in mind right when we get engaged, we truly can't start all the planning until we have a venue! Let's see those venues that you all have chosen! What made you decide on your location? Are your ceremony and reception in the same place? Are you having a destination wedding? So many options!


My FH and I are getting married at The Heritage Museum of Orange County in California. It's a beautiful mansion built in 1890 by Hiram Clay Kellogg for his family. It's situated on 12 acres with jacaranda trees and an orange grove, a rose garden, and even a freshwater marsh! It ended up being a perfect fit for us budget and location wise as it's only about 20 minutes from the majority of our guests!

    Our reception is at a banquet hall that used to be a movie theatre.

    Thank you. I'm trying to stay positive. It's just really unfortunate that we have to condense our guest list from 140 to 30 to do their elopement package. That chop was extremely hard and upsetting.

    I definitely hear that. Maybe there can be a larger event for a renewal of vows at 5 or 10 years? Even if it's not what you originally planned for, I know it's going to be beautiful!

    Thanks. We were actually thinking of doing a small group, maybe 5 or so and renew in Hawaii. There's this gorgeous black sand beach there and an amazing water cave for a beautiful photo op.

    My venue is going to be at the Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke, VA. It is super modern with huge glass windows, beautiful long stairs, and unique architecture! Super stoked!

    We're getting married at Moss Vineyards, nestled in the Blue Ridge mountains right outside of Charlottesville, VA! They have the most breathtaking mountain views. We're getting married on the vineyard lawn, but there's a covered patio in case of rain. We may even do our dancing on the patio, because we love it so much! There's also a separate tasting room for the cocktail hour, and an events hall for the reception. Our number one priority was having an outdoors ceremony with beautiful mountain views, so this ticked all of our boxes!!

    Sarah, that’s so gorgeous! The mountain backdrop is just amazing! I think I could just sit in that tasting room looking out those windows for days!
