Need some advice on my wedding ... ?

While I really like the ceremony location, it might be a logistical nightmare on the day of your wedding. It looks like you're going to need to rent/buy decorations and chairs for the ceremony. Is there any place at the farm where you could have the ceremony? I'm assuming it's nice enough for the reception, could you have the ceremony under a big tree at sunset? Why not take advantage of the beautiful outdoors? Besides, doing the ceremony at the farm would be easier on the budget.

As far as hassle for your guests, it would also be less likely that someone would get lost.

My sister In Law did something very similar, except since it was Los Angeles on Friday (and she lived in San Diego, a two hour drive from Los Angeles on a good day), the distance didn't take 3 hours total but the traffic did!! They chose to set up in a Hotel closer to the wedding site the night before (she payed for those in the wedding party) and for two nights since it was all taking place past check out time and they needed those extra hours. Then anyone wanting to make the drive was okayed to stay in those rooms that night since it was already payed for. Then just she and her husband got another hotel room closer to the airport since they knew the party would go on till midnight and they'd want to stick around till then (his family was coming in from the east coast). So hotel rooms, though not cheap, can keep you from going insane!

Try the wedding on one day and the reception on the other day. There are some people that just like to the wedding and others that just like to go to the reception. But also you can get the photos and wedding done on the first day. The second day (the party) can be relaxed and you will not need to wear the dress and dress for comfort. Just a thought.

if you love the site then you should marry there.

can you book your hair appointment at a hairdresser close by the castle? if not then no worries you just book it early enough to leave time for the drive. have a coffee [decaf] or tea while you are heading up to the site and instead of wearing your dress take it with you and don't put it on until you are there. my s.i.l. and brother married at a site two hours from home and while it was a bit of a nuisance they never regretted it! they had the wedding of their dreams!

so with a bit of scheduling i think you can pull this off with no problems! happy wedding!

Get a hotel!!!!!! For sure! I do not know where the time went on my wedding day, but you can definitely use that 3 hours doing something else :) The castle looks amazing; how cool to get married in one!

capturing weddings no longer in basic terms demands technical know-how of the digital camera and lighting fixtures, yet posing and technique. First, I recommend particularly analyzing some professional web pages for poses. Your thought of an indoor studio is excellent provided which you already know studio lighting fixtures. outdoors 4 hundred ISO could be ok, in case you utilize studio lighting fixtures fixtures, one hundred.acquaintances generally assume in case you may take great photos of mountains and streams which you additionally can take great wedding ceremony photos, yet it is form of like asking a foot widespread practitioner to take out your appendix. I had my wedding ceremony photos ruined via a nicely meaning chum my husband employed..I could say ex- chum...over 30 years in the past and it nonetheless hurts. thankfully we additionally went to a professional studio for a sitting that day! (could be a solid advice!)

i would not waste all of that time driving. get a hotel, you will be glad you spent the extra money in the end!

ok i love weddings all u need to do is ask one of your family members if u can stay at their house it is a cheap and easy soultion! :)
