Post-holiday blues has officially been replaced by bubbly engagement season! If you’re rocking a new sparkler on your ring finger after the holidays, CONGRATULATIONS! While getting engaged is such a celebratory occasion, you may be feeling overwhelmed by the idea of planning what may feel like an event that may drain your bank account. After the initial rush, you may be thinking… now what? Here are some steps The Lesner Inn came up with to help you out…

1. Pop some champagne. Don’t let the stress of party planning get to you. Celebrate your engagement by throwing an engagement party or just by going out to dinner with your family & friends!
2. Before you start looking at venues or picking dates, you need to estimate the size of your wedding. Start a guest list!
3. Start to tour venues in the area. We usually recommend having a month and day of the week in mind when you tour the venue to check availability.  That being said, we don’t suggest walking in with a specific date because there’s the chance that you fall in the love with the venue but they don’t have your date available.
4. Secure a date & book your venue. Then start to book your vendors!

Lesner Inn can always help you cross numbers 3 & 4 off the list by scheduling an appointment with us to tour our facility! With the best view of the Lynnhaven River in Virginia Beach, 2015 and 2016 dates are booking fast — so schedule your appointment today! Happy Engagement Season!
