Why Choose A Wedding Venue That Dances to Its Own Beat? 📸🎉

Hey there, you legends! 🙌 Ed here, stoked to be capturing your most magical moments, and Victoria is steering this ship towards all the happy vibes! ❤️

If you're here, it's safe to say you're not just looking for a 'nice' wedding venue. Nah, you're after something that screams you. 🖤

So, why not go for an eclectic, unique, industrial, glamorous, decadent, and alternative space that matches your energy? Here's why you absolutely should:

1. Make a Statement 🏴‍☠️

An alternative venue isn't just a place; it's a statement. It tells your guests, "This is us, in all our glory!" It's like the stage set for a rock concert where love is the headlining act. 🤩

2. Unforgettable Memories 📸

Picture this: Ed capturing the silhouette of your love against graffiti walls or industrial pipes, while fairy lights add that dash of glamour. Now tell me, who wouldn't want photos like that? 😍

3. Freedom to Be YOU 🙌

Tired of seeing the same ol' floral arrangements? These venues allow you the creative freedom to make the space your own. Paint the day in your colours! 🌞

4. A Treat for the Senses 🚀

From the acoustic vibes of live indie bands to food trucks serving global flavours, alternative venues promise an experience that's far from vanilla. 🤘

5. All Are Welcome 🥳

Inclusivity is the name of the game. Alternative venues embrace diversity, making everyone feel like they're part of the awesomeness. ♠️

6. Break the Mold ⚡️

Why be another couple in another ballroom when you can be the talk of the town? Alternative venues are all about breaking away from the norm and setting new standards. 👍

So, what do you say, legends? Ready to take the plunge into a venue that celebrates you with a photography style that is natural, candid, relaxed and documentary? 🎉

Sending you legends all the happy sunshine vibes in the world. 🌞 You rock, speak soon legends. Happy vibes! 🤘🖤

Ed & Victoria, your Lovely Creatures team

Hey there, you absolute legends, so what makes a wedding venue unique?! 🤘

Choosing a wedding venue is one of the most significant decisions you'll make for your special day. It's like picking the canvas for your masterpiece, and it can make or break the whole vibe! 🎉

So, what makes a wedding venue truly unique? Let's dive right in, shall we? 📸

Atmosphere 🌞

This one's a no-brainer. The atmosphere should make you feel those happy vibes the moment you walk in. Whether it's a charming rustic barn or a sleek modern loft, the venue should resonate with your souls and make you go, "YES! This is it!" 🙌

Location, Location, Location 🌍

Oh yeah! The venue's location can add a whole new layer to your wedding story. Whether it's a castle perched on a hill, overlooking the ocean, or a cozy backyard, the location should make your hearts sing. 🎶

The Little Things 🌈

It’s often the tiny, almost-overlooked details that make a venue unique. Perhaps it's an antique chandelier, or maybe a gorgeous garden full of your favorite flowers. Those are the things that'll make your wedding photos pop and bring a smile to your faces years down the line. 📸🤩

Flexibility ⚡️

Your big day should be painted in your colors, and the venue needs to allow for that. Look for a place that’s flexible enough to let you infuse your personalities into everything, from the decor to the playlist. 🖤

Inclusivity ❤️

Your love story is yours and yours alone, and a unique venue will embrace that wholeheartedly. Inclusivity is key, ensuring everyone, from your gran to your besties, feels welcomed and cherished. 🙌

Extra Amenities 🚀

Does the venue offer something out of the box? Maybe a fireworks display, or a gourmet midnight snack bar? These extras can elevate your wedding from amazing to "Oh-my-gosh-I-can't-even!" levels of awesome. 🥳

Alrighty, lovebirds, that wraps it up! Ed's looking forward to capturing all the magic in your chosen venue, and Victoria's got the helm steady to make sure the journey is as delightful as can be. 📸🚀

How to find your perfect unique wedding venue that speaks to your personalities and logistical needs too

Hey legends! 🤘🎉 Finding the perfect venue for your wedding is a bit like discovering a hidden gem, isn't it? You've got to dig deep, explore, and sometimes even get a little dirty to find that special spot that speaks to your souls. 😄

The Soul-Searching Stage 🙌

Firstly, tap into what makes your hearts sing. Are you outdoorsy explorers or do you find magic in urban landscapes? Your venue should reflect your personalities, your vibes, and what you love doing together.

Internet is Your Canvas 🌐📸

Start by exploring online. Pinterest, Instagram, and wedding blogs are treasure troves of inspiration. Save everything that captures your eye, even if it seems a bit out there! Ed is always stoked to shoot in unique locales, and trust me, the quirkier the better! 📸⚡️

Hit The Road 🚗🗺️

Pictures can be deceiving, so take a little road trip to potential venues. Feel the atmosphere, visualize your day, and consider the lighting (Ed's always got his eyes peeled for that perfect glow 👀).

Ask the Right Questions 🤔❓

Don't be shy! Quiz venue coordinators about the nitty-gritty:

• Can we bring our own caterers?

• What's the curfew?

• Are there any hidden costs?

• What's the plan if it rains? (this is the UK, after all!)

Engage Your Tribe 🥳👍

Remember, this is a journey you don't have to go on alone! Chat with family and friends who know you well. Maybe Aunt Karen knows a secluded forest perfect for a fairy-tale wedding, or your best mate suggests that underground art gallery you've never heard of.

Consider Logistics 🤩📝

We know, the boring stuff! But it's essential. Think accessibility for guests, accommodation options, and, of course, whether the venue fits within your budget.

Go With Your Gut 🖤🚀

Above all, listen to your intuition. When you walk into a venue and can already hear the wedding bells, see the flashes of Ed's camera, and feel the love in the air, you've probably found your spot. 🤩📸

Sending you legends all the happy sunshine vibes in the world as you embark on this exciting quest! 🌞❤️ Remember, your wedding should be painted in your colors. You rock, speak soon legends! 🤘🎉
