A Note From The Couple
We asked the couple to tell us about their planning and budgeting process, and this is what they had to say:
We wanted to prioritize everyone having a good time at our wedding! Of course, we had some traditional things and other specifics we wanted.
From attending multiple weddings together the most memorable things for us always included food, music and unique venues! That’s what inspired us to choose The Bucyrus Club! We loved the idea of guests having the option to tour the museum during cocktail hour and the venue was extremely spacious.
The staff also won us over by how dedicated they were to making sure we had everything we needed and helping the day run smoothly. Because of this, we didn’t feel the need for a separate wedding planner.
We chose to have both a photographer and videographer to capture as many memories as possible because they day goes by so quick!
We chose to spend less on venue décor and flowers as we found more budget friendly options were enough to meet our needs. We also felt like the venue was beautiful in itself and found some cheaper options to compliment the space.
– The Happy Couple
