How did you know you found the right venue? We have looked at a few but the one I keep thinking back to is the very first one we seen. H2B really liked it instantly but I didn't get filled with excitement but now thinking back I really liked it? Should we just go and book it or look at a few more before definitely booking?

No harm in going back to look at it again to make sure. We just knew instantly when we saw ours. Just put a smile on my face straight away so had to hope it was within budget. My H2B loved it too. It just felt right. My sister was also there (Maid of Honour) and said I had to book it as she saw my eyes light up.

I'd go back and have another look. We knew that it was the first one we wanted and nothing else compared so went to see it done up for wedding fayre and loved it more and booked it x

My brother got married at our venue a year before we got engaged. I loved his wedding venue so much . I did not look at any other venues . Just knew I wanted that one . If my wedding is half as special as my brothers I will be so happy xx

Go back for a second viewing. It will definitely help you make that decision if you both like it.

We just couldn't stop thinking about it. I was the same he liked it more than me, we did go back with parents and then ended up booking it that day, 6 months before we'd planned too though ha ha.

Our venue was the first we saw but we saw several others which helped with our decision. We then went to a wedding fair at that venue and took my parents, we decided we wanted to book it that day. Lucky we did as we got the last Saturday in the month we wanted.

We only went to see the one venue and booked it there and then. Had done lots of research online, loved the pics, and it fitted in our budget. Had back up venues to look at, but it had everything we wanted.

I think the wedding world has massively hyped up
'the moment' and 'the feeling' and 'the one'. Sometimes it's not instant, and does need a second time around. Go back and have a look. Maybe with the others as a comparison, this one will tick your boxes.

We visited several and got all the info including price, menu options, availability and what was included (accommodation on site, how many guests would fit etc). I know it might not be as romantic as finding 'the one' but discussing the pros and cons practically as well as reflecting on our reactions has so far made wedding planning a breeze because we already know our key objectives will be met.

Definitely go back and look again. The one I thought I would love, I really did until we entered the function room, then the whole thing was a let down. The second venue I looked at with my mom first, I really liked it so went back with my fiancé and we both loved it. I still always think about what if there was somewhere else better or if I really do like it but when I go back each time I love it more. Only 10 months to go now

We visited one and new instantly.. when you know you know but if your hearts not in it maybe see one more and then decide, it his day too so if he's set and your happy then do what is best for both

It's the right venue if the drinks are cheap - no one has fun at a wedding if you need to put it all on a credit card... from experience lol.

We loved our venue and thought that was the one we wanted just from photos. It was the last one we physically viewed though - saw others first and liked elements of them which just helped to solidify our decision. Definitely go back and have another look!

The one you compare all the others to. If nothing compares or beats it then that's your one.
I knew the minute I saw my venue that it was the one for us and it hasn't disappointed, we went to a meeting a few weeks back and my other half fell in love with it too x

Go back & look again! You'll know when you've found the right place. We're having a marquee at home on the farm & knew instantly which field i wanted it in. Which has actually become even more special as a tree is going to be planted there in memory of our granny who recently passed. xx

Our venue was the second one we saw.... there wasn't an instant "OMG this is it" more of a gradual feeling. We like the rooms etc but the effort that the manager put into talking to us and working on a possible package for us really sealed the deal and made us feel it was the right place for us.

Ask if they have a wedding fair on and you can get a feel on what it may look like x

We booked the first one we saw as we fell in love with it. Although being a wedding photographer in the past I had been to quite a few venues already so that helped. But definitely have another look if you keep thinking about it x
