Ceremony Venue: Modern or Traditional?

We got married in a church. We didn't ever consider not having it at the church, it was actually the very first thing we booked! We based our reception venue off of our church location because we knew we want ed it to be convenient for guests. It was less than a mile from the church!

Modern

our ceremony venue is in the gardens at the hotel/venue where our reception is held.

Modern.

We went with a old theater. We are not religious, so a church was never going to happen.

Modern. Neither one of us are religious. We're having it out side up in the mountains.

Modern meets traditional: We’re getting married at an open air chapel in a state park.

Modern: We are getting married at a country club.

Traditional. We thought about the idea of an outdoor ceremony, but a lot of factors made us change our minds. We are getting married in April, so rain will be a huge problem. Also, we aren't really big on barns/rustic themes (I want nothing country about my wedding, haha), and most outdoor venues here are barns. Plus my FH wanted a pipe organ for our ceremony music, so we will be getting married in a church. We will have the reception in another venue so we can have the freedom to serve alcohol and dance (some churches don't allow dancing apparently).

Modern! We are not very religious. We opted to get married and have our reception in one place, at our barn venue.

Traditional. It's a non-denominational chapel but we chose it more for the ambiance than the religion factor! Original wood, stained glass windows, it's stunning!

Traditional. We knew we wanted a Catholic wedding mass (FH was raised Catholic and I just recently converted). We're getting married at the parish I joined.

Modern. We're getting married in a beautiful 1920's building with exposed brick. We will have a lot of Christian aspects to the wedding, though, as our Faith is very important to FH & I!
