    One thing to think about is where the sun is going to be during the day; it might be beautiful in the evening after work but less appealing Sunday morning.

    Just went on my first venue tour and I used this video to put together all the questions I wanted to ask, and I felt I had a solid understanding of what to ask and look for. Thank you Jamie for helping to prepare us!

    @foxwolft9332 Před 5 lety +9

    We are doing our reception venue at a gazebo at a forest preserve. It's little but super beautiful! The nice thing is there are bathrooms attached (one stall) and more super close walking distance, picnic tables there that we can use for seating, electrical outlets, and garbage. I'm really praying that on my wedding day it's sunny so we can have an unlimited amount of space to do things like outside on the patio area. However, at the moment we are planning on everything fitting into our tiny space. ^ - ^" Fingers crossed it all works out!

    Ideally, I want to have an elopement in Yosemite with immediate family and close friends, so about 15 people max. Some of these tips don't apply, but I didn't think about the multiple events in one place thing. That's definitely something to consider when choosing the ceremony spot, e.i. something private and off trail that won't be interrupted.

    What is actually 'far' for a bathroom? What about a tent that is maybe 50-100 feet from a building where the restroom is? Also any more specific advice about tent receptions would be appreciated! Your channel is amazing and so helpful to me as a full-time working bride planning a wedding from out of state. I may be just a little stressed :)

      Jamie Wolfer haha!!! Mine too 😂 it get to the point i can smell off milk or i end up having no space left for another cup that i have to hold my coffee while driving.
      I also have a wedding question. Have you been to a wedding with 30 people and they still all have fun? I love the idea of a smaller wedding but not sure if thats to small.

  • @camarieyoung1302
    @camarieyoung1302 Před 4 lety +2

    Love your channel! I'm a super fan! I used all of ur advice to book my wedding venue! I've had my venue booked and paid for 8 months and I'm now 7 months away from our wedding date...in the last month I've had a few people come to me with bad reviews about my venue. My fiance is very concerned about these negative reviews, what can I do to make sure these things don't happen on my wedding? Please any advice is appreciated! 😁

    5. How much work will we have to put into decorating the space?
    6. What's the catering situation?
    7. Can I hold the ceremony here?
    8. Is there a coordinator on staff? Who will be my main point of contact?

  • @crazydayswithchrissy4423
    @crazydayswithchrissy4423 Před 5 lety +1

    So, I was wondering what would be good question points or summary points that I could use to make up a contract with my Food Vendor/ Caterer? They speak okayish English so I thought a contract would be more helpful to lay out exactly what I'm paying for. I jotted down hours (total, set up, tear down) but I'm so caught in the wedding fog I'm running blank on what else to include?

  • @jenweatherwax7113
    @jenweatherwax7113 Před 4 lety

    Can you please do a video about rings? I’m so confused. I read it’s traditional to wear a wedding band and an engagement ring after you’re married, but I’ve never seen anyone do that. If I just wear my engagement ring after getting married would it look tacky to people? Can you break down what is traditional, tacky, and good do’s and donts?

    Any advice on rehearsal dinner? My wedding will be on a Saturday and the venue I want to use for the dinner portion is available on a monday, is that too early?

    • @TheUnveiledBride
      @TheUnveiledBride Před 5 lety +1

      Jaycee Corpuz That will work if your wedding party is all in town on that day, but if you have people traveling you might be missing some people. I like to have the rehearsal close to the big day because it kind of feels like the kick off party for all of the festivities!
