Choosing your wedding venue
With so many new wedding venues popping up in the midwest, it’s hard to know which to choose. There are 5 major things to consider when picking your wedding venue. I have highlighted them in an effort to ease your wedding planning journey. Happy Planning!
No. 1 Decide what size you’d like your wedding to be
Whether you want to have 2 guests or 200, it’s important to make this decision before booking your wedding venue. You want to be certain that whatever venue you choose can accommodate for your guests.

What time of the year are you getting married? Mid July? Maybe you love the outdoor ceremony vibe, but don’t want to melt in the mid summer heat. Maybe you could have a short outdoor ceremony then move things inside for the reception. All things to consider when looking to book a wedding venue!
