Venue photographs are taken at the best hour, in the best season, with someone else’s flowers. The real question is how the place works on your day, with your people.

Questions worth asking
Where do guests go between the ceremony and dinner, and what happens if it rains? How far is the nearest place to stay? When does the music have to stop?
Visit at the time of day you plan to marry, walk the route your guests will take, and notice how the place makes you feel when nobody is selling it to you.
