How to Choose Your Wedding Venue
In this episode, I’m diving deep into one of the most foundational choices you’ll make during your planning journey: your venue. While it’s easy to be swept away by beautiful views or historic charm, there’s so much more to consider. I walk you through the exact process I use with my own clients, one that goes beyond aesthetics and helps you choose a space that supports your entire celebration, from design and logistics to guest comfort and overall experience.
I share how we approach the venue search with intention, starting with thoughtful research before stepping foot on property. Together, we look at key factors like vendor flexibility, infrastructure, support staff, hidden fees, and even details like terrain and lighting that impact guest flow. I also talk about what to watch for in contracts, how to request meaningful proposals based on your real vision (not just cookie-cutter packages), and why comparison budgeting is essential to avoid costly surprises later on.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have the tools to make one of your biggest planning decisions with confidence and clarity, so you can move forward designing a wedding that’s not just beautiful, but truly meaningful. Also, don’t forget to sign up for my newsletter: it’s where I share exclusive planning tips, design inspiration, and everyday entertaining ideas to support you along the way.
