Venue Me || Open Houses


It’s officially wedding season. As we kick off the New Year with countless engagements, it’s time for brides to check local magazines for their best wedding venues. Does looking at countless pictures sound familiar? I sometimes can’t decide what I really like by pictures alone. Is it the creative photography that captures your eye? Or, does the venue really have the appeal to make your wedding perfect?

Satisfying as it is, traipsing all around to find the perfect venue is no one’s idea of fun. Narrow down a few and take advantage of open houses to see the venue at its prime. Since most weddings are typically held during the evening. You also have an opportunity to meet other key vendors you need. Take some time to check out some local beauties in Phoenix such as Boojum Tree – Hidden Gardens for a fairytale location filled with nooks and archways around the property ideal for wedding pictures. They host an open house every Tuesday from 6-8 p.m.

Another hidden treasure is Virginia’s House located in Glendale. This historic home brings together the family atmosphere and romance from the 1930’s. I find myself in love with their venue that easily captures the essence of a charming backyard wedding. Their next open house is on Thursday, January 14th from 4-8 p.m. Open Houses provide you the chance to visit the properties you have been eyeing and choose your perfect venue.

  1. Great food for thought! Brides need to consider the timing of the ceremony, comfort of their guests and photography opportunities when selecting a venue...and it has to appeal to her sense of personal style. That is a lot to think about! Boojum Tree is one of my favorite places to shoot a wedding! Valerie, you are always right on point with your posts!
