Pete and I waited about a week or so before we started with our wedding planning. Typical me even bought a special "wedding folder" so I could hold onto my notes, brochures, business cards and other important paperwork. The first thing we decided to do was come up with a guest list. We felt that the best way to figure out how big of a venue/reception hall we need is to figure out how many people we need to accommodate. This would also help us come up with a wedding budget. Since we both don't come from very large families we are able to keep the guest list down to closer family and friends. At this point, our list is about 125 guests.
The next step was finding a venue and choosing a wedding date. In order for me to continue on with the rest of the planning I needed a place and a date/time. The hardest part of this process so far was choosing the best place to have the wedding. There were pros and cons to consider.
POSSIBLE WEDDING VENUES
Here are the places that we looked at for our wedding <3 Since Pete and I are having the wedding ceremony at the venue we need to make sure they have a nice place for it to take place. I only chose to look at 7 places because after awhile the prices are comparable and venues start to all the look the same. I narrowed it down to these 7 places and attempted to make a decision based on that. I was lucky enough to have found my venue amongst one of these 7 but had I not, I may have kept looking. Our wedding day is set: 9/14/14 at one of these lovely venues listed below!
