How to Choose a Good Venue

Okay, let's get one thing straight: I've never been married. That beings said, I've been to plenty of weddings, and have had several friends and family who have tied the knot who have imparted some wisdom on me.

It's a game of compromises. You want a venue that will speak to both the bride and the groom (but if you want my opinion, the bride is always right). Find someplace within your budget that has the exact facilities you want, do not compromise on this!!
