Last week, I talked about setting the date. This week, I am talking about choosing a venue. I have only recently started looking for a venue but already have a few ideas in mind: I want it to be local to me (thus in the Hertfordshire/Bedfordshire area) and be able to fit all of our proposed guests in – both Steve and I come from incredibly large families and although we know that realistically, we will have to leave some of them out, we also need to know that our venue can fit those that do come!
Ever since last weeks post, I cannot get the picture from Sopwell House out of my mind. Sarah from Friday Is Forever made me want to check it out in the flesh even more after this post. I know that I really shouldn’t fall for the first place I’ve seen pictures of – I mean, I haven’t even seen it in real life yet! – however, I can’t stop thinking about it.
I’m currently looking around for local bridal fairs so that I can see what other venues and businesses have to offer.
Is it normal to fall in love with the first venue you look into?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!
This place looks beautiful, love the little bridge – imagine the cute pics!x
I know, right?x
The pictures would be amazing! Though going to a gate to check you're options is a great idea – there may be some hidden gems for you to find ! Xo
Yep definitely!
We booked the first venue I booked an appointment with, despite going to three others, two of which were extremely expensive and posh looking (think Luton Hoo style) I still chose the first one. Theres something about that one venue that first catches your interest and makes you want to start booking and organising!
So i'd say its pretty normal to fall in love with the first place you look into!
Yay!x
That looks like a very nice venue for the wedding but i suggest it would be best to look around for more and compare. I am excited for you. Enjoyed your blog by the way.

Lovely venue. Don't think I'll be planning a wedding for years yet 🙁
Looks like fun though!
