The journey to "I Do" starts here! If you’ve just gotten engaged, focus on these essential first steps to lay a solid foundation for your celebration at a venue like our beautiful new timber barn.
1. Dream & Decide: The Foundation
Envision your wedding: What style do you imagine? (e.g., romantic, modern, rustic). Our new barn offers the perfect rustic canvas!
Set a date: Consider the season and venue availability. Crucially, think about major travel holidays for guests traveling from PA, WV, and VA.
Determine your budget: How much can you realistically spend? This dictates all other decisions.
Draft a guest list: Get a preliminary idea of your guest count for venue capacity planning.
2. Assemble Your Team: Support is Key
Hire a wedding planner (optional): They can help with organization and vendor selection, saving you stress.
Choose your wedding party: Ask your bridesmaids, groomsmen, and other attendants—they will be your support system!
3. Venue & Vendors: Book Early!
Book your venue(s): Ceremony and reception locations, especially popular spots like our new timber frame barn, often book up a year or more in advance. Lock in your date!
Research and book key vendors: Photographer, Caterer, Florist, DJ/band, and Officiant.
4. The Look & Essentials:
Start dress shopping: Browse styles and book appointments; the process takes time.
Consider attire for the wedding party: Discuss colors and styles early.
Buy wedding insurance: Protect your investment from unforeseen circumstances.
Create a wedding website: This is essential for sharing travel info and details with guests traveling to Clear Spring, MD.
Tips for Success: Prioritize tasks, stay organized, and communicate constantly. Most importantly: Have fun!
