Michelle E Photography: Choosing The Perfect Wedding Venue, Georgia Wedding Photographer

Twelve Oaks Bed & Breakfast Covington, GA

Hey there, and congratulations on your engagement! I know you are excited and ready to start planning your wedding day. You may have even started searching wedding venues in Georgia on the internet and found that there are many wonderful options out there. Well, I'm here to help you narrow some of those choices down, and guide you in choosing the perfect wedding venue for your big day.

One thing you’ll need before you even start looking at venues is a wedding vision. What do you want your ceremony backdrop to look like? How will your reception look? Maybe you want to get married in a field with a big oak tree, and party the night away inside of a newly renovated barn. Maybe you’d like to get ready at a beautiful beach house, and walk down the sand to say your wedding vows, or maybe you’d prefer to proclaim your love on top of a mountain somewhere in North Georgia with a small group of people, and celebrate afterwards at a nice cabin. You’ll need that vision before you can pick out your perfect wedding venue.

Once you have that vision pinned down, you'll need to start looking at venues that match your total vision for your wedding day from start to finish. Something couples tend to overlook is where they’ll be getting ready. Does your wedding venue have a beautiful room for you and your bridesmaids to get ready in? Is there a masculine place for the groom and guys to hangout in?

When choosing an outdoor wedding venue and ceremony time, pay special attention to the light where you’ll be standing to exchange your wedding vows. On a sunny day, is the light harsh? Is the shade spotty? If you answer yes to these questions, you may want to adjust your ceremony time to the evening if it’s outdoors. You want nice, even shade, and soft light with no harsh shadows. These are important things to look for when choosing your wedding venue because they will be photographed and part of your wedding story.

Choosing a wedding venue that you love and that’s in your budget can be challenging. That’s why I've done some research, and compiled a list of possible wedding venues for you to choose from and visit in Georgia. I hope you've enjoyed this post. Thanks for stopping by and happy wedding planning!
