It’s that time of year again when venues open their doors to couples to tour their property and see if this is the perfect venue to have their wedding. Open Houses are a fantastic way to see a venue in a non-intimidating environment. You can wander, mingle and mosey and see if you can envision your wedding day at that venue. Open Houses are also a great way to meet each properties Preferred Vendors. Vendors are there to show samples of work and answer questions again in a non-intimidating environment. It can be a one stop shop for a couple. Open Houses give you the opportunity to plan your wedding literally in a day if you like the venue and the vendors that you meet. They also help you with your vendor research. There are always Wedding Planners, Photographers, Videographers, Florists and DJ’s at these events. If a venue knows and trusts a vendor and has selected them as a “Preferred Vendor” then that means that the vendors work is proven and that they are very familiar with the property and have worked there often so chances are they are a solid pick.

There are a few Open Houses coming up over the next few weeks that you should attend.

If you don’t already follow the Melissa Jill Photography blog you really should. Along with showcasing her beautiful photography she addresses important issues and talks about some very sticky wedding industry issues in such an articulate fashion. She puts up some incredibly candid posts about industry trends that are both educational to brides and wedding vendors as well as she is just so honest and brave about discussing the elephant in the room topics. Today’s post left me saying “Rock On Melissa!!” Click here to check it out. It is titled “Do You Offer Discounts?”. Here is a HILARIOUS video that she posted to further illustrate the point.

The next stop in the journey to plan my parents 40 year vow renewal which we are 2 weeks away from by the way is Tri-Rentals. Now we have done a ton of events with Tri-Rentals and each and every one is unique and fantastic and takes on a personality of its own. Whether it’s specialty chairs, china, tables, tenting and lighting, lounge furniture or a specific linen or chandeliers Tri-Rentals has it all and so much more. So of course I called Tri-Rentals to help us make my parents reception spectacular. When people walk in the door we want them to say WOW. In order to do that you for sure need chairs, linens and some sort of tie or decor for the chairs. So with our colors being navy, lime green and white I got in touch with Deb and Suzette from Tri-Rentals and they walked me through the whole process and helped me pick what would work perfectly for our event. We decided on white wood chairs with lime green ties and navy bengaline table cloths. They were so incredible through the process. I was in conflict about whether to go with the apple green chair tie or the lime green tie because I was worried that the lime green might look florescent and they sent me color swatches of both along with a swatch of the navy bengaline so that I could make the best choice possible. After seeing the selections the apple green would have been a mistake so I am glad that they thought to do that and made that offer. They run like a well oiled machine and every step with Tri-Rentals has just been so simple. I want my parents event to be everything that they didn’t have the first time around and Tri-Rentals is helping me bring their vision to life with a POP! Thanks Tri-Rentals!

Here is a sample of Tri-Rentals fabulous decor at a wedding we did with them last summer on the 4th of July.
