Choosing this type of venue for your wedding is always a great idea, if you have it in your budget to do it!
The venue literally HAS IT ALL for you. You just have to do the choosing! Choose your reception setup, down to the chairs. Choose the food, down to the deserts. Choose the flowers, down to the boutonnieres. As you can see, there is a LOT of choosing. But, if you plan your own wedding, you will need to do a lot of choosing there too! So, if you plan for this type of venue for your wedding day, please be sure to read all of the contract! Nothing needs to be added to the contract that you didn't want (or didn't need to pay for!). It is hard to get out of the contract, once it is signed. Then, most of the time, you forfeit your deposit.
We are not putting them down at all! They are great when everybody gets what they want! If your budget is not an issue, consider this as a wonderful plan for your wedding! Just one more thing to be cautioned about is the rules and regulations. Sometimes, there are a lot and sometimes, just a few. Just keep this in mind while reading over your contract ( and EVERY contract with any vendor!)
Hope you have a wonderful wedding day whatever type of venue you choose!
