Wedding Venue Search and consultation
Find your dream venue in Washington or Oregon and a planner's insight of what to look forward to...and what to look out for.
We know that a venue is the foundation of your wedding design, and it is naturally the first thing that couples look for. But what many couples don’t know is that a hasty venue choice can end up costing you more later down the road.
We take our venue hunts a step further than just the look and feel. We consider:
-
What is the general look, feel and aesthetic?
-
Does it include a getting ready space?
-
What inventory is included?
-
What catering options are allowed?
-
What are the rental timeframes?
-
What accommodations are nearby for any out of town guests?
-
And much more!
As planners who have worked in Oregon, Washington and California, we’ve seen some pretty amazing venues and have experience directly working at many of them. Let us help you ensure you have the best foundation for your wedding day!
