1. Narrow down your destination.
Before you begin searching for your wedding venue, it’s best that you and your partner decide on a destination.

2. Make sure you know how many guests will be attending.
Once you’ve narrowed down your destination, you will want to begin looking for your venue. When you are searching for your venue, you are going to want to know how many guests will be attending. Some venue locations will have a limit on how many guests they can support for your event. Knowing this will help you narrow down your search so you can find a venue that will work perfectly for your upcoming wedding.
3. Find a venue location that has meaning to you as a couple.
Many of the couples we work with choose their venue because of a special moment they shared or there is something unique about the location to their love story. If you and your partner have a few locations in mind, be mindful and think about which one might have the most meaning to your story.
