And total fan of couples doing their day their way! 🥰
I’ve managed wedding venues, worked with all types of couples, and seen first-hand how one great decision (or one rushed one) can shape your whole planning experience. That’s why I created this checklist — to help you make the smartest venue decision from day one!
At our venue, we often went beyond what was included. Not because we had to, but because we knew how much it mattered to the couple. Whether it was bringing in extra tables, sourcing last-minute items, or just being there to troubleshoot — we did it. Because when the venue team shows up, the whole day flows better.
And here’s the truth — your wedding doesn’t need chandeliers or sweeping staircases to feel magical.
It needs the right space.
Because the ‘real’ magic of your wedding won’t be in the polished floors.
It’ll be in how you feel walking down that aisle.
It’ll be in the happy tears, the stolen glances, and the joy that fills the space you picked on purpose.
Use the checklist – Take it to every venue visit.
Know what you’re looking for and why it matters – to YOU.
Happy Planning xx
