Ask to See The Rain Plan – Choosing a wedding venue for all weather

By | Armstrong Farms, Behind the Scenes, Lingrow Farm, Wedding Planning, weddings | No Comments

Venue shopping tip: ASK TO SEE THE RAIN PLAN – so important! Especially if plan A is an outdoor ceremony or cocktail hour or the primary plan for photos is the outdoor space. Make sure the rain plan is something you will love just as much and not be a hastily thrown together poor substitute. Ask yourself if you had to have your day with nothing but the rain plan – where would everyone sit, what would it look like, how is the lighting, can it be decorated, if you have no ability to go outside (maybe it’s hurricane season) where will you be able to take photos?

And if you’re reading this saying to yourself, “oh no, we’re super relaxed we’re gonna go with the flow” then Honey, you need a timeline more than most people. Why? Because the flow of a wedding with a planned timeline is like the Mississippi, steadily moving in one direction but with a lot of calm flat water. A wedding without a planned timeline is more like the raging rapids rushing over the edge of Niagara falls.  They both might look great in photos, but one of them is a much more comfortable boat ride, if you know what I mean.  *wink emoji*  So let’s start this list from the bottom and work up to my number one…
