Which came first: your wedding date or your venue?

We chose a month and a Friday and let the venue dictate the actual date.

Our venue came first. Originally we were going to get married in August 2020 but then we pushed it up to June 2019. So happy with our decision!

The first time around was the date then the venue. Now after postponing first came the venue then the date. We just had a month in mind and went with it and switched from a Friday evening to a Sunday afternoon

Both
we had a couple of possible dates, then talked to the venue we had wanted and picked the date from our shortlist

Venue! We had a general idea of timeline (spring 2019) but were flexible so we could have our wedding at the perfect location

We picked our date first because we wanted March 20, 2020 as our special day and to me it was easier to approach venues with a date already in mind. Luckily, the date is a little over a year away so we had our pick of venues and didn't run into any trouble

Wedding date! We have had a 2 year engagement so we were able to get our dream venue and date.

Ooh, I like the sound of compromise I'm hearing! What's your venue like, Alexandra?

That's super awesome, Alisha!! I'm so happy for you! What's your venue like? And how is 3/20 your special day? Is it an anniversary?

View Quoted Comment We love our venue!!! It has so many different spaces for us to take advantage of - a beautiful outdoor gazebo for the ceremony, a basement speakeasy-style lounge for the cocktail hour, a gorgeous grand ballroom for the reception, and a rustic barn bar for the after party!

Our venue, then our date, then our new date lol

Our venue is beautiful! It took me awhile to find it and I was taken aback by the amenities and the great vibes I got once I toured. After touring and researching various other venues, this one just stood out to my FH and I. It sits on a river and offers great views

Also, March 20 is actually 8 days after our anniversary but we just liked the numerical sequence behind it lol. We did consider our anniversary, but it fell on a Thursday and would not have worked out.

We knew our date had to be during one of my breaks from school, so we had certain dates in mind but we weren't rigid on the exact date.

Venue! We picked our date based off that

We tried to set our date first but changed it when it wasn’t available at our preferred venue

Venue- we had a general time of year in mind and then found the venue and went off their availability and making our date not on a holiday

We chose the month and picked a Saturday based on the venue so I guess venue first!

We had a date in mind, but would have changed it if it was not available at a venue we loved. So I guess the venue solidified the date, because they did have it available.

Our date! We had to go through a few venues after to make our date work!

Venue! We fell in love with the Black Stallion venue in the Outer Banks, NC so once we knew that, our date just fell into place!
