Finding A Perect Virginia Wedding Venue

If you are searching for the perfect Sydney Wedding Venue then it's worth reading the entry on the Elizabeth Ann Design blog about one couples search for the perfect venue in Virginia.

From the bride:


Even before we were engaged I was on the search for a Richmond wedding venue that would best suit our needs. Because we are very cost conscious, as well as working with an unusually large guest list (several hundred friends and family are being invited), we knew we needed to find a well-priced, yet very large, venue.

We want a very traditional ceremony that does not draw attention to us, but rather to the commitment we are making, and felt that a church setting would best fulfill this desire. Finding a church large enough for our crowd proved to be quite a challenge. I was not aware of how difficult it would be to find a church that allowed non-members to use their facility, much less the expensive fees that would be charged. After months of searching and a miraculous turn of events, our minister was able to secure what had once been the most expensive church on my list for a very minimal price. We were so thankful for his help.

We knew the reception venue needed to provide a change of pace because we didn’t want for our guests to have to sit idly for several hours during the reception. We also quickly realized that there are very few places available in Richmond that can accommodate a group of our size. We were forced to begin looking at outdoor venues and just pray for unseasonably warm December weather!

We were very familiar with Winterham Plantation, a beautiful nearby estate, because we had previously held a private family event there. We, along with 250 friends and family, celebrated my brother’s high school graduation with an old fashioned pig pickin’
