Selecting the place where you will celebrate saying \u201cI do\u201d is one of the most important decisions in the wedding planning<\/a> process.\u00a0 There are so many factors to consider that many couples don\u2019t even think about until they\u2019ve already reserved their wedding venue<\/a>. Things like the location, what\u2019s included for the price, and of course reviews on past couple\u2019s experiences should all be things that you are considering when making this decision. If you\u2019re having trouble figuring out where to start in selecting your wedding venue<\/a>, we hope we can help by providing some of our insights!<\/p>\n

\nLocation, location, location!!! This should be one of the first things on your mind when considering your wedding venue<\/a>.\u00a0 But this doesn\u2019t mean that you should just pick whichever venue is closest to your house.\u00a0 What we really mean is that the location should reflect the overall feeling that you wish to have at your wedding! How you feel when you walk into the doors of your wedding venue for the first time should be the same feeling you want to have on your wedding day<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Your location should also reflect the types of photos that you wish to have from your wedding.\u00a0 Waterfront wedding venues<\/a> like Lesner Inn are the perfect setting for photos, rain or shine.\u00a0 However, you should also take into account your wedding venue\u2019s proximity to other places you\u2019d like to take photos. Whether you want a photo with your toes in the sand or to stand out in a forest of green you should know what photo opportunities are available near your wedding venue<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"Waterfront-Wedding-Venue-Virginia-Beach-Lesner-Inn-27.jpg\"<\/a>What\u2019s Included<\/strong>
\nThere are so many wedding venues that charge a large amount just for you to use the venue!\u00a0 This often doesn\u2019t even include the tables, chairs, table ware, or catering.\u00a0 At Lesner Inn<\/a>, we prefer to provide inclusive services so that our couples don\u2019t have to work with 10 different wedding vendors<\/a> to have their dream wedding<\/a>!\u00a0 Things can get lost in translation when working with too many wedding vendors<\/a> so, if you decide on having your wedding at a venue that only includes the space, make sure you are prepared to stay organized.<\/p>\n

Reviews<\/strong>
\nReading reviews from past couples and their experiences at your top wedding venues<\/a> will give insight to real weddings there! If you are seeing several negative ratings, then the venue may have a few kinks that they need to work out.\u00a0 Wedding planning websites<\/a> like The Knot<\/a> and WeddingWire<\/a> are great places to start when researching the best wedding venues in your area.<\/p>\n

Privacy<\/strong>
\nCan you imagine having your wedding at a venue where all of its event spaces are in a row of dark banquet halls where you can\u2019t tell a stranger attending the wedding next door apart from your great aunt Susan? It makes you wish that you had enough wedding guests<\/a>, and money, to book the entire venue.\u00a0 At Lesner Inn<\/a>, we offer our couples the option to book the entire venue for a private wedding<\/a> experience at a fair price! This is something that we recommend to all of our couples, especially those with higher guest counts, so that they can get the most out of their wedding day<\/a>.<\/p>\n
