Why It’s So Important to Select Your Venue Before Your Date!


“Should I pick my wedding date or venue first?!” - The Question That Everyone Is Asking!


It’s the first thought that comes to mind for the majority of couples and it can be a tricky one to figure out. Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life and the wedding planning process can feel daunting if you have no idea where to start. For many couples, the first dilemma when beginning the planning process is when and where?! While every couple is unique and has different priorities for their day, our biggest piece of advice is to start with your location! Prioritizing your wedding venue first will save you time, stress and sometimes even money - here’s why!


The options are endless when you start with the venue!

Some couples are quick to lock themselves into a date for their wedding day before searching for the perfect venue but this will limit the options around you. By limiting yourself to a specific date, season or day of the week, you might risk settling for a venue that you wouldn’t have naturally been drawn to, rather than finding the space that feels right for you and your partner! So trust us when we say it isn’t worth settling when there are so many benefits to non-saturday options! Check out all the reasons we have been loving weekday and Sunday weddings on our blog below!

Thursday Weddings: A Trend That Is Here To Stay! A Sunday Kind Of Love: Why Sunday Weddings Are A Great Idea!

Your venue sets the stage for your entire day

Patience is key and when you come across the right venue we promise you will feel it! Prioritizing that feeling above all else will help ease the nerves and we cannot stress that enough! Once you tour the venue that feels right for you you will catch yourself thinking less about all the decor and DIY projects you have added to your to-do list! Your venue will set the stage for the entire day and when you feel confident about the experience that your venue will provide to you and your guests, the rest will fall into place more easily.


Not only will the venue set the stage for your entire event, it will also be the backdrop of photos that you will look back on for years to come. This is another reason why it’s so important that your venue reflects your style and personality as a couple! Choosing a date before selecting a venue could cause you to change the entire look or feel that you were originally hoping for!


Your memories are more important than a specific date

If you’re the couple who is set on having your wedding at a specific venue or have dreamed of a certain experience for your wedding day, then don’t lock yourself in by choosing a date before looking at venues! When you look back 10, 20, 30 years from now, you will not think about the day of the week or even the time of year that you got married. You’ll remember the memories made, surrounded by your loved ones, in a place that felt like home to you - even if for just one night. Take the pressure off, book those venue tours and let the spaces speak for themselves! We promise you will thank us when you make your final decision!

WHAT. A. NIGHT! In partnership with Band Together and La Fête Planning & Design our annual fundraising event, An Evening to Ignite, was a night to remember! Hundreds of individuals came together in support of our 2024 charity partner, Neighbor To Neighbor , a local non-profit dedicated to reversing the debilitating effects poverty has on the most vulnerable families in Raleigh. They believe in providing long-term, one-on-one mentoring relationships for teens resulting in positive generational leaps in education, employment and personal development. What started as an idea and a dream in 2017 to bring together community members and events industry vendors to make a large-scale impact for one local, grassroots nonprofit has become a reality and grown into an annual event that raises over $150,000 each year! With the amazing support of our sponsors, vendors and local community, we are so proud to announce that we raised $201,933.32 for Neighbor To Neighbor ! Every single dollar that was raised will help bring to life Neighbor to Neighbor’s dream of a state-of-the-art teen tech center that will create more training pathways, mentorships, and employment opportunities for youth in our community. We cannot wait to see this space realized! The success of this event is due in large part to the generosity of our vendor community and their contributions of time, effort, staffing, materials, inventory, and talents. Over 40 local event industry vendors came together to donate over $250,000+ of goods and services to ensure 100% of the proceeds raised during the event went directly to Neighbor to Neighbor. Year after year, our vendor friends continuously raise the bar by outdoing themselves and helping make Evening to Ignite bigger and better than the year before. We are eternally grateful to be in such a collaborative and talented industry!
