Choosing your venue comes down to a few big things:
1. Light
Good light is better than fancy décor.
2. Guest count
Your guest list decides half the puzzle.
3. How you want the day to feel
Relaxed? Luxurious? Beachy? Garden casual?
4. Logistics
Parking, travel time, ceremony start time, accessibility… all the behind-the-scenes stuff that actually makes your day feel smoother.
