WEDDING PLAN TROUBLES..

Two things might happen when you start planning your wedding and begin to look for a venue:

1.) You pick a date, but venue after venue is booked, or

2.) you picked one place where you would like to be married, and they are booked 5 years out.

Bummer to say the least.  Heartbreaking and depressing for some brides for sure.  Well my dear, if this is you, it’s time to move on!

GETTING PAST DISAPPOINTMENT

Okay, so you can’t get married on the anniversary of your Grandparent’s, at the exact venue where they said their vows, but you can still get married!  You can still make your wedding one of the best days of your life!!

It’s time to find another breathe-taking venue or accommodate your favorite venue’s off-season schedule.

If your late in the game or have already made deposits for your vendors, switching your date is almost impossible or a waste of money, so most times this means finding a new venue.

YOUR PERFECT WEDDING VENUE REDEFINED

It’s time to redefine your mind’s eye of a perfect wedding venue.

First, start off with a list of venue must-haves (I know… it’s hard because you had your mind set on that first venue – but you’re marrying your your best friend, not the venue).  From that list, pick three things you both can’t live without.  For example, some must-haves might be venue decor, cost, capacity, location, whatever your heart desires.  Never the less, you need to figure it out, and fast.  You know that old saying, for every closed door, another opens?  Same here.

If a venue has your top three must-haves, put it on paper along with any others that have potential.

Now, start calling those venues and check their availability.  Make sure you take detailed notes too.  That way, it’s easier to remember who you talked to and what they said.

Easy-peasy, you got this.  Go ahead, make that list of new venue options!

A LIST OF HAMPTON ROADS WEDDING VENUES

Good luck my friend, and call me should you need a wedding photographer (lol)!
