Finding a Wedding Venue in the High Point / Greensboro / Winston Salem Area

As we look ahead to engagement season, we are buzzing with excitement to meet newly engaged North Carolina couples searching for the perfect venue for their wedding. We understand the pressure that comes from choosing the venue that will best suit your needs. This decision is one of the most crucial moments in the wedding planning process!

We also have the scoop on some of the Triad's best wedding vendors!

While you begin to prepare touring all your potential venues, we have a few tips to consider to help you get the most out of your venue tours.

Before the Visit

Start by reviewing the website and documents sent by the venue. You’ll often find key information and frequently asked questions that will help you understand the basics. Prepare a list of additional questions, wishes, must haves, and dream ideas that you are considering to incorporate. Make sure you have these written down so that you get every answer you want without forgetting a thing. The Knot has a wonderful list of questions to help you get started on your own.

Cut the List

We know that everyone is excited to be a part of your wedding planning process, but when you have a large group attending the tour it can cause you to feel stress from all the different opinions. Keeping the list tight when touring or just having you and your fiance attend, can help keep your questions about what you are looking for at the top of your mind without letting multiple opinions interrupt your process.

Check Behind the Scenes

Make sure to check out the dressing suites, parking, restrooms and more hidden features of the venue. What will the guest experience be like?

Ask About Restrictions

Ensure you take note of what restrictions the venue has. What are the rules on alcohol being outdoors? What type of vendors are permitted? Is there a time limit as to when you need to be out of the venue at the end of the night? Are there any decor restrictions?

Do your Research

Search for reviews of the venue before you go on your tour. Make note of any issues that you read about so you can bring them up to your tour guide.

Do Not Overdo It

We understand you’re excited to start the planning process and want to check out every option available! Start with gathering information and narrow down your potential tour venues to the top few that fit your requirements. When scheduling appointments, make sure you are keeping in mind how much time each venue tour may take including travel time.

Searching for your wedding venue should be a fun experience and help you refine your wedding vision!
