Our venue is about an 8 hour drive from where I am and about a 3 hour drive from my fiance. We have communicated with them over email which has been extremely helpful! Through out the planning process, we will only have to be at the venue twice (once for the menu tasting and once the night before the wedding).
I would TOTALLY do it all over again because the process has been super easy! Our venue has a wedding coordinator so she has been very responsive and helpful through the whole process. Good luck!!!
Oh, one more thing is that we have to travel to get our wedding lisence in the county that we will be married so we will have to travel a total of 3 times over the year that we have been engaged...not too bad :)
Thanks so much! The out of state venue for us is only five hours away so it's not that bad but I'm going to be starting a new job soon so I won't really have days to take off from work right away.
Thanks for your help! I'm glad you're enjoying your planning!
We live in Texas and are getting married in California (my whole family lives there). Thankfully I have them to do a lot of the work for me, but we're having a short engagement so from start to finish, we have 8 months. We will be going back 2-3 times before the wedding, and then the actual wedding itself. So roughly 4 times.
I hope this helps! It's tough planning a wedding from out of state, but you can do it!!
Let us know what you decide :]
We've decided on the out of state venue! Woo hoo!

My fiance and I are trying to decide between two venues, one local and one out of state. So far the out of state venue wins in every category. The only concern we have is being far away from the venue and not being able to be there at a moments notice. We are confident that they would be a huge help in the planning but have no idea how many times we would have to make the trip out there.
For those of you who have planned or are planning weddings from a far distance how many times did you have to travel in the planning process? Would you do it again or would you choose something closer?
I would appreciate any advice!
