Mar10 Finding the Perfect Venue 2011
Today we’re back with another great video by Lindye Galloway about Finding the Perfect Venue. This video got me thinking about how ridiculously hard it can be to find venues, so I thought I’d ask you readers to chime in! For those of you that have already booked your venue, how’d you go about finding it? Were there any online resources you turned to? I know when we started researching for my sister’s weddings, we spent tons of time combing through Here Comes the Guide. Nowadays, it’s also really helpful to use wedding blogs. But what else did you guys turn to for scouting out the ideal location?
Now here’s LIndye with some great tips to remember for narrowing down the perfect locale. My favorite tip is remembering to ask tons of questions about what’s included. All too often, brides book a venue and then are shocked to discover they still have to pay for chairs, tables, linens or even worse: bathrooms!

She’s so adorable.
and amen! agree agree! such good tips
Finding a venue was one of the hardest parts of my wedding planning as well. Especially because I did it from a distance. I kept a blog of all the places I found lists of venues in So Cal. You can see them here: http://becomingmrsclarke.wordpress.com/category/venue/
Awesome! Thank you for the tip, Bethany!
Finding a venue was so tough (it was right up there with choosing a photographer)! I can’t agree more with making a list and visiting a couple venues. The way I think of it, visiting a few venues is at minimum good practice (I mean hey, most of us brides aren’t planning pros). You get a good idea of what you love and what you really don’t want, and having an idea of what’s “out there” can help you when it comes to negotiation.
I really love the editing style used on this shoot. Great job!
Another wonderful video full of real advice!
In planning our wedding, we knew that finding a venue with fabulous decor would cut-down on our need to have loads of decoration that we’d have to budget for ourselves. The Victorian hotel we picked is perfectly us… and amazingly the wallpaper in the dining room is driving so much of our inspiration. We couldn’t be happier with having an already beautiful space that only will be enhanced by our special touches!
Hi,
Thanks for the shout-out, Grey! We know you have great taste, and we’re honored to have been of assistance with your sister’s wedding venue search. It’s one of the most important elements to get right, and often absorbs a good chunk of your wedding budget.
