From grand banquet halls to quiet, cozy houses, the sky is the limit when it comes to picking the wedding venue that’s right for you.  When it comes to organizing your  special day, the location you pick may be the single most important factor for setting the tone.  Always remember that the venue you select will help create a theme for the entire wedding.

Whether your planning an exotic, beach wedding or a quiet, country getaway, it’s always important to consider how mobile your guests are.  For many brides, the far off vacation wedding can be a difficult feat to pull off.  But fear not, we at RD have the solutions for finding the perfect venue to celebrate.  

For the right wedding location, you might not have to look any further than your own hometown.  Not only will keeping your wedding local be easier on your guests, it will also help support your local businesses.  You could even step outside of the box of traditional venues and research the quirky locales surrounding you.  Anything from quaint farms, bed and breakfasts, to stately, historical manors can be fair game for your big day with a little creativity.  Chances are, your local area has historic landmarks and interesting creative spaces that are often overlooked when planning a wedding.  

Your theme could be taken to the next level when you use an original, local choice for the venue.  Don’t be afraid to get creative and use all your resources.  That exotic wedding could be right in your own backyard!
