Picking a venue

Carla, on April 11, 2021 at 2:20 PM Posted in Kentucky Planning 0 6
I’m from elizabethtown ky. There’s a few local venues here but not to my liking. Most venues are 45+ minutes away and I’m already getting negative feedback about the drive. Should I consider local or stick to finding a venue I love but a further drive? I’m stuck Smiley sad

    Get the negative feedback and ignore it. If you're the one paying for the wedding, you get to pick where it is.

    45 minutes is not long to drive for a wedding for anyone to whom it actually matters.

    I dealt with this when I got married. Our venue was about 45 minutes away from our hometown where our guests were. My in-laws b%*ched for weeks. I didn't care. That's where I wanted to host my wedding, it was in my budget, and I was the one paying for it. After the wedding, no one said a word about having had to drive.

    Choose the venue you love! The ones that want to be there will make it work no matter what.

    Personally, if I chose a venue further away I would make sure it's in an area where hotels are near by for you and your guests. Other than that, by all means, do whatever your heart desires! Don't listen to other people's opinions. I am tired of people telling me what they want for my wedding.

    Thank you it makes me feel better. It’s my own mother and she has a negative opinion on about everything I’ve tried showing her. I’m definitely going to look into that venue. Thank you for your response (:

    I’ll have to check and see if there is hotels near by. I’m trying to be positive but everyone coming at me in every direction. I’ve only been engaged for a month and I’m already overwhelmed with people request.

    Ignore the negative feedback, it's your wedding. I decided on a venue in Midtown Manhattan and got tons of flack about parking, if they want to be there they can figure it out. And there's always the option for room blocks.
