Choosing your wedding venue is one of the biggest (and most exciting!) decisions you’ll make while planning your big day. It sets the tone, the vibe, and let’s be honest — the photos! Here are a few things to keep in mind while you explore your options:
1. The Vibe.
Are you going for romantic and rustic? Modern and minimal? Timeless and elegant? Your venue should feel like you as a couple. Trust your gut — when it feels right, it usually is.
2. Location, Location.
Does the spot feel special? Will your guests be awed and excited when pulling up to your venue? Will you look back at your photos and imagine any other choice for you?
3. What’s Included?
Some venues offer just the space, while others (like us!) include things like tables, chairs, lighting, and even decor options. Ask what’s part of the package so you can budget accordingly.
4. Indoor + Outdoor Options.
Weather can be unpredictable. Having a venue with both indoor and outdoor spaces gives you peace of mind and more flexibility when planning your ceremony or photos.
5. The People.
You’re not just choosing a space — you’re choosing a team. Are they responsive, organized, and genuinely excited about your day? You’ll be working closely with them, so the right fit really matters.

At the end of the day, the perfect venue is one where you can truly picture yourself saying “I do.” If that might be Millbrook Cathedral, we’d love to show you around!
