My son is getting married next summer so we’re right in the middle of looking for a place to hold it. Thanks so much for the suggestions!
You’re very welcome!
My sister is getting married soon, and she asked me to help her choose a venue for the big day. Your article had great tips regarding this, and I liked how you said if we get an outdoor venue, we should plan very carefully, as different weather conditions can affect the experience. Thanks; we’ll keep this in mind when choosing a wedding venue for my sister’s wedding.
Thanks Jocelyn! And congrats to your sister!
My sister asked me to help plan her wedding next year, and I thought that the venue would be a good place to start! I like how you mentioned we should consider the hidden venue fees. It makes sense that we want to know everything that we are paying for and not have any hidden fees!
Best of luck with the wedding plans. I’m sure it’ll be gorgeous!
