How To Find A Wedding Venue – Tip #1
Indoor vs Outdoor Venues: Even if you love and want and outdoor ceremony, always check if the venue has a covered or indoor option. We live in florida, so the weather can change fast. Make sure the venue has a Plan B or that you can create a back up plan yourself. I always recommend reaching out to a rental company for a quote on a clear or white tent.
2. Supposey Warehouse & Gardens

Style: Chic, contemporary, versatile
Why Our Couples Love It: Supposey is a flexible venue that caters to both modern and traditional weddings. Its sleek spaces and clean lines create a beautiful canvas for couples to bring their vision to life.

How To Find A Wedding Venue – Tip #2
Understand Sound Ordinances & End-of-Night Rules
One of the most overlooked venue details is how loud your music can be and how late your reception can go. This varies widely from venue to venue and can dramatically affect the vibe of your wedding night. Ask your venue about sound curfews, end times, and clean up responsibly during your tour to avoid any midunderstandings.
3. The Orchards Event Venue
Location: Molino, FL (just outside Pensacola)
Style: Outdoor estate, rustic elegance
Why Our Couples Love It:
Set on a private estate, The Orchards offers breathtaking outdoor ceremony spaces and elegant indoor reception areas. Its lush landscaping and charming estate feel make it a favorite for couples dreaming of a picturesque outdoor wedding with plenty of flexibility for décor and photo opportunity’s.

Insider Tip: Schedule your venue tour during the time you want your ceremony to see how the natural light plays across the property.
How To Find A Wedding Venue – Tip #3
Be careful not to let your venue eat your entire budget.
One of the biggest mistakes we see couples make is spending 40–50% of their total wedding budget on the venue alone. While a beautiful venue sets the tone for the day, it can quietly squeeze everything else that actually brings the wedding to life.
When too much of the budget goes toward the venue, couples often feel forced to:
- Cut back on florals or decor
- Shorten photography coverage
- Choose lower-tier vendors they weren’t excited about
- Feel constant stress trying to “make it work” financially
A healthier rule of thumb:
Your venue should ideally fall around 20–30% of your total wedding budget, especially if it does not include catering, rentals, or coordination.

When selecting a wedding venue, consider your guest count, preferred style, and must-have features.
