Why did you pick your reception venue?

Exactly!! that way i know i can rely on them and they know my vision so i dont have to worry. they also gave us a free day of coordinator.

The look, the price and the staff. our venue is very modern and was re done a few years ago. the staff also took the time to speak with us and adhere to all our special requests and answer all my questions.

We picked our venue for three reasons:
- We liked the location, the grounds were beautiful and the venue itself needed little decorating;
- It was within our budget and offered a lot of add-on options depending on what we wanted/could afford;
- It was one of the only venues, in our hometown, our married family/friends hadn't used already to get married hahahaha.

We liked that ours was good on the budget and most of all that we could bring in our own vendors to save money

We picked it purely for the view originally, I think. My only criteria for a reception venue was that it wasn't a banquet hall - I wanted something different.

I looked at a few non-banquet hall locations but none of them compared to our venue.

Right?! Like how could I possibly resist that? It's also great because the venue is 5 minutes down from where I want to take photos after the ceremony. Literally the only thing that I would change is the fact that there aren't many windows, so we just have to make sure some extra lighting is put in place

I chose the venue I did for money/sentimental reasons mostly, plus it gave us a contingency plan if we had to move the ceremony indoors. There's never been a wedding held at our venue and the people were wanting to advertise their space for weddings in the summer since it's a curling club, so the space is deserted in the summer time. Plus FH's family are all members, so his parents had some strong sway in how much we paid, on top of that the club is willing to pay half of my photographer's bill if we allow them to use some of the photos for advertising.
