Venue Dilemma

I don't think 45 minutes is a big deal. I would for sure save the money.

That's what i said! We asked all our bridal party and out of 8 people we only had 1 person that told us to spend more money and that the place closer.

I don't think the drive is a big deal. The only thing I would be concerned about for guests would be if they are drinking and driving 45 mins back.

I wouldn't mind 45 minutes as long as there is a hotel around to stay at.

We wouldnt let anyone drink and drive there are hotels like 5 mins away, we would have someone take them there or home.

There are hotels like 5 mins away!!!

45 minutes is nothing. If you really love it, I’d go with that one. It’s cheaper and less rentals you have to deal with. And if you really don’t want to drive the 45 minutes, you can probably find a hotel or AirBnB to rent the day/night if the wedding. Even if you do that, it’s still cheaper than the close one.

I wouldn't mind the 45 min away, especially if I get to save money on the venue that can maybe be spent on another area of the wedding. The main thing you need to think about is which farm location do you like best and which one can you see yourself getting married at.

I'd go with the cheaper venue further away, especially since more is included with that second venue!

I dont think 45 minutes is bad. I rather have the cheapest venue that offer more things. My venue is 30 minutes away from my home.

I'd choose the farther venue

45 minutes is no big deal at all, especially if you're going to save over $2000!! Our venue is an hour+ away from where we live. Of course we don't want it too far from home, but the venue was a location we really wanted, and the price was the best we got from all the venues we toured, so it was a no-brainer really.

Go for it!!!

I drive 30 minutes daily to work and 30 minutes back home.
My college was 45 minutes from my parents driveway and I had no issue making that drive one the weekends and maybe once during the week.
45 minutes isn't a big deal, and if it is (I like to party hard too) they can opt to get a hotel.

45 mins is definitely well worth $2,200! I drove almost an hour to and from work last year, so that'd be fine haha. Just be sure, before you get too excited, that it has excellent reviews and you're getting what you want from it. That seems like an AMAZING deal, but be sure it's well worth it!

I used to live in the middle of nowhere VT where there was nothing useful within 30 minutes, so 45 minutes seems like cake to me, a no-brainer really. But for someone who isn't so used to driving to get anywhere it might seem daunting. 45 minutes really isn't bad, especially if it offers more stuff and costs less. If people are really bothered by it, perhaps take some of the savings and get some kind of transportation arranged. A family member of mine who got married a few years ago rented a school bus to cart people from the hotel to the ceremony, and from the ceremony to the reception and it worked really well (only 2 people didn't fit and they wanted to leave early anyway so they took their own car).

Our venue is 35 minutes from where we live and it'll be a hr n so for some of our family member's. We fell in love with it n the price we couldn't pass up!!

So if that's where you want to get married do it and the ppl who wanna be there won't mind driving the distances

45 minutes us not that far. I would do that. But get it fast cause venues book up over a year out.
