What was the first venue you visited?

The first venue we visited was Arnaldo's Banquet Center and it was so beautiful that I fell in love with it immediately. We booked it that same day and I do not regret it one bit.

The Kolping Center, and I actually really liked them and tried to reconnect after to give them a deposit and no one ever responded to me so we had to find a similar place

The Farmhouse Paint and Sip. We narrowed down our long list of venues to three and this was the first one we saw. The other two just didn't stand up to it! So that's the one we went with. The price was right, the place was cute, and most importantly, the people were beyond kind and helpful!

A very rustic outdoor venue with an indoor reception area. It was wooden, but not a barn.

We actually loved the location and almost booked it until we realized we really didn't want to have a rustic wedding after all and it was very expensive for only offering tables and chairs.

The barn at crescent lake. We weren’t super impressed for a number of reasons then they told us the price and we were like no thanks! Found an almost brand new barn with air conditioning for WAY WAY less!

It was definitely meant to be!

The el conquistador hotel, it is not the one we went with!

The first venue we visited I believe was the venue we booked lol (Noah’s Event Venue)..I wanted to go w/ an outside venue which was a close second. We looked at others & somehow circled back deciding on the first one lol

The first venue we visited was the one we booked too. After seeing it and hearing all that was included in the package, it was a hard deal to beat. I had done a lot of research online before visiting it, and only visited one other place before we made up our minds. It was Pen Ryn Estate in Bensalem, PA. We also really clicked with their salesperson.

The very first venue we toured was Celebrations in Bensalem PA. IT was very beautiful but was just not what we envisioned for our wedding day so we choose a different venue.

We actually didn’t visit any of the places we considered as venues. We had been to most prior (halls in our area). I still haven’t been to the venue we chose!

The first venue I visited was Onderdonk House in Queens, NY. Its NYC's oldest Dutch colonial home with a museum. The home is a museum, and has a huge outdoor space with a tent, garden, fire pit, and picnic area. We thought it would be perfect for our wedding at the time, but we decided we didn't want to get married in New York City. We'll be getting married in the Dominican Republic (where my family is from) instead!

We went to a nature center. And then laughed and laughed at the thought of having a wedding there. Said we could have 70 guests. There wasn't room for more than 30. Really. It would work, but you better be having a tiny party. (Which was our original plan until we realized how many important people there were in our lives)

We never visited any. I searched online and found a destination spot on the beach. It was the best one I had found so we went with it!

Didn’t visit any venues.
Had ideas. Had lists. Made appointments to see venues. Then changed the whole wedding. 😂
Visited the paint mines (Colorado) and it was beautiful. Plus it’s free!

The museum of nature and science...didn't work out. Grant Humphreys is way cooler

The first venue I visited was suggested to me by my future mother. It was beautiful and fulfilled almost every desire except the date. She must know me well because we contracted another venue that she suggested.

We only visited one venue! Done!
