In this episode, Abby tackles one of the biggest decisions you'll make in your planning journey: choosing the perfect wedding venue. Here's what you'll learn:

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of options or worried about making the wrong choice, Abby's thoughtful insights and practical tips will help you find the one with confidence!


Key Takeaways:

  • Know Your Budget: Determine the maximum you're willing to spend on a venue, including potential extra costs like catering or rentals.
  • Draft a Guest List: Have a rough idea of your guest count to ensure your venue is the right size for your celebration.
  • Identify Priorities: Decide on non-negotiables (e.g., atmosphere, style, or specific features like accommodation).
  • Ask the Right Questions: Clarify details such as included services, setup times, and flexibility with vendors.
  • Trust Your Gut: Beyond practicalities, choose a venue that feels right and aligns with your wedding vision.


Practical Tips:

  • Visit a limited number of venues to avoid decision fatigue.
  • Ensure your venue can accommodate your guest count comfortably without feeling too cramped or too empty.
  • Consider the logistics of your day, including accessibility, parking, and accommodation options for guests.
  • Build a strong relationship with the venue team and ensure their approach aligns with your needs.
  • Plan ahead to balance flexibility with securing your ideal venue before it books out.
