We Booked Our Venue {FINALLY}

It only took us 512 days (1 year 4 months and 26 days) to start our wedding planning process. We officially booked our venue yesterday. We will be getting married at the Manakiki ballroom in Willoughby, OH. The good news is it's not really near where either of us grew up (so it's neutral) and it has a ton of character. 


We'll be getting married exactly one year from Friday which is the anniversary of my good friend Tara. 


See below for photos of the location:




1. Manakiki house/Mansion




2. Ceremony location




3.Cocktail Hour and outdoor area 





4. Reception location (dinner/dancefloor)




5. Bar






6. Seating/Lounge area (couches will be here instead of tables)
