Tips for using this guide & touring venues
Visit in the month/time of day you plan to have your ceremony, so you can see lighting and shade.
Ask for vendor access: test how far the receiving area is, rigging options, ceiling heights, and electrical drops.
Portrait variety: ensure the venue has both open and shaded areas for different lighting.
Backup spaces: even outdoor venues should have an indoor fallback or covered space.
Ask about decor restrictions and what’s included (chairs, tables, lighting, décor elements).
Traffic and guest flow: especially for venues south or west of downtown, account for rush hour traffic and allot extra time.
