New Venues to Love: SC, TN, NJ, MT

New Venues to Love: SC, TN, NJ, MT

We are behind on the blog. That is an understatement. Who has time for a blog when they have such exciting work to do. However, we promise to reboot our weekly emails in the New Year and have them reciprocated here, on the blog, often in more detail.

This past year we visited a few great new venues and worked some new ones too.

It has always been surprising how hard it is to find a great venue that builds their new property with all the logical needs a great wedding venue needs. Only some of these are:

  • Enough accommodations for at least the wedding party and all immediate family members to stay.

  • Multiple venues for multiple events, so we can keep the space being used for the main event a surprise! Also, so guests can check in and stay the weekend.

  • Other hotels nearby that are nice enough for the guests that most likely will not stay on-site.

  • A great food and beverage program on-site.

  • A rain back up plan for at least the ceremony, if not also the cocktail hour, or another flat piece of land to pitch another tent.

  • Close to a major airport and ideally, a cute town or city for guests to explore.

  • Even better, a golf course, tennis courts, gym with an outdoor pool and of course a stellar on-site spa.

  • Internal staff that “gets it”.

Without further adieu, our NEW favorites list is below! We will write a more detailed blog soon, just enjoying the Holidays for now!
