What Sold You On Your Venue?

It's been a while since I've seen a venue thread, so I figured I'd start one! What about your venue made you want to book it? Does it have a beautiful ceremony spot among the trees?

It's been a while since I've seen a venue thread, so I figured I'd start one! What about your venue made you want to book it? Does it have a beautiful ceremony spot among the trees? Or an elegant grand staircase for the perfect reception entrance? Large windows overlooking the city from the dance floor? Fancy chandeliers in a ballroom that matched your vision? Somewhere meaningful to you and your future spouse? Convenient location and unbeatable price?

Share a photo of your favorite part of your venue! 📷 Or, if you haven't booked your venue yet, share an inspiration photo of what type of venue you're looking for!

    It is ENORMOUS! There is a video game area in the common area as soon as you walk in. Then the grooms suite has 2 barber chairs and a shower along with tvs and couches. Then there's a pool table between the grooms suite and the bridal suite. The bridal suite has 4 salon chairs with enough plugs for blow dryers, curling irons etc. There are couches and it also has a shower. These suites are brand new! When I saw them last week, they were just doing touch up paint and installing the video games.


    It's hard to imagine all that came at a fantastic price!

    What is the name of this venue?! Absolutely stunning! Onsite accommodations were one of my must haves as well.

    We are having the ceremony on the beach under a large tree so everyone can be in the shade I think. The beach is only around the corner from the marina so it should take only a minute to drive around there Smiley smile

    Yeah it will be enough room I think. Because it is our vow renewal we are only inviting a certain number of guests and no where near what we had for our wedding. Smiley smile I think the total was only about 30-35 and it's a big tree so it should be all good. Smiley smile

    What so who was it that said it was free and I didn’t have any restrictions it’s in my parents backyard. All that times are treating it like a regular venue with their own restrictions.

    To be completely honest, what sold me was how organized and easy they are to work with. The venue works exclusively with our favorite restaurant as their caterer so that was a huge plus. And they just had every sort of answer to any weird question I may have had. They have a plan for any sort of weird event that might happen. Talking with them made me feel very calm like all of the vendors involved know exactly what they are doing to make sure the big day goes off without any slips. It is a beautiful manor house in the historic downtown area of where we lived when we first started dating so it has a very at home feel as well.

    It definitely makes a difference when a venue is organized and easy to work with! Awesome that they work with your favorite restaurant for catering, so you know the food is gonna be good, lol. And how meaningful that it's in the area where you first started dating!

    Dear god so sorry that my comment made no sense. That’s the consequence of voice command texting. What sold us is that our venue was free as it’s in my parents backyard although they are putting down limits and rules as if it was a venue that we paid for.

    Haha, no worries! That totally makes sense that they're setting some ground rules on it. How awesome that you get to be married in your parents backyard!

    Yes it is and I’m sure it will be worth it. Although I don’t see it as emotions are running high given the closeness of the event.

    Well the only thing left is a hair and makeup trial as well as a final meeting with venue designer and minister. I pick up my dresses this month but terrified to try them in as my last fitting was a debacle. Thanks so much for asking.
