Updated NY State Venue list

Revised September 23, 2022. More states to come.

We have not worked at all of these venues nor are they all right for our average client. There are more too certainly! The list for New York State is endless these days and new properties keep popping up, some that are not public yet or booking yet for 2024.

(8/10) Taking care of guests is more important than impressing your guests.

Eight of Ten: Things you need to know when planning a wedding.

Taking care of your guests is more important than impressing your guests.

Eight of Ten: Things to remember when planning a wedding. Taking care of your guests is more important than impressing them. If you don’t think of them as guests in your own home, while they may be at a venue, then everything else you create won’t matter so much.

In example, booking venues with many hotel accommodations on-site or hosting in an area many are familiar with, both take care of guests.

Picking a venue not too far from an airport.

Providing transportation takes care of guests.

Sending a detail email the week prior to the wedding, takes care of guests.

Adding a golf cart or two may be wise at some venues.

Taking care may be some things as simple as heal stoppers or blankets.

Will their hair get caught in a branch or worse, poke their eye out, when they get up to go to the restroom?

(4/10) Your wedding celebration is happening for you

Four of Ten:  Your wedding celebration is happening for you.

[2020 Top Ten things to remember when planning a wedding…the more serious list]

Your wedding celebration is for you to enjoy, just like your guests. You are on the guest list.

You are there to enjoy the experience you have created and enjoy the company you have *chosen to invite*. 

Turn off your phone for 24, 32, 72 hours. Let the professionals capture the day. 

Studies show that you remember an event better when you are not the one photographing it. Okay I don’t know if studies actually show this but I have heard that many times and I believe this to be true. 

Be receptive to the present moment. On your wedding day there is truly nowhere else you need to be.
