Backyard Wedding or Saying "I Do" to a Venue?

Recently, Hawthorn Hills Ranch had the pleasure of collaborating with Dallas Party Ride, a local luxury limousine company specializing in weddings. They compiled a list of advice from wedding venues all over the Dallas metro. As a featured participant, Hawthorn Hills Ranch has been given a wonderful opportunity to offer our advice to couples who are debating on having their wedding reception at a residence as opposed to a venue.  As some of you can imagine, this can be harder than it seems!

We are thrilled to be part of this interesting piece! With all the different opinions shared by us and other wedding venues, I believe this is a great resource for any couples out there currently preparing for their union.

​Keep in mind that your wedding is a unique time and the memory of this day will last forever.

With all couples there are many things to consider when deciding on your perfect location to celebrate your big day. Having a reception at a residence or a venue has a number of differences but what is truly important is what the couple sees for their big day. In most cases the biggest factors for most couples are guest count {which can easily determine which location has enough capacity} & overall what you'd like your day to look like. Do you see family gathered in the living room and around the kitchen island or do you picture guest tables surrounding a dance floor as you & those closest to you dance the night away? Do you imagine saying goodbye and heading on to your wedding night not thinking twice about who has to clean up the venue or do you picture tidying up with your family? 
Everyone's day is unique and beautiful - it truly comes down to what is right for each couple. One thing we love about our venue is the relaxed feel that our couples get when they welcome their guests into their venue for their day versus celebrating in a banquet room. That's the feeling that counts, regardless of where you do it.
