The Venue At Valley View Farm

I just love her ❤️

We always joke about releasing our text messages because ✨we are hysterical✨ BUT, if you ever want to know why I go “hard” for certain people and vendors like The Venue At Valley View Farm? It’s because of this right here. My girl ain’t feeling the hottest today, and I was going to throw some meds at her door and run (because I don’t want the plague to!) But she is STILL making it happen for her brides! Worked out to grab some meds and a little something for a bride. But how sweet is the other bride too?! Gooood peoples right there.

This girl WILL move heaven, earth and Uncle Dale out the way to make sure you are TAKEN CARE OF. (Uncle Dale will too, and he’s good people also, just an example). So yes, I am friends with “those Venue people”. And Once Upon A Table, The I Do Girl, Cheron's Bridal - Aiken, SC, Lacie Bee Photography, and In Plain Sight Photos (among others) and I’ll drop their name quick fast and in a hurry! Even if we are “competitors”. Because I have PERSONALLY spent time with these people, or an excessive amount of time talking with them. And my people radar is PRETTTTY dang good if I do say so myself. 🚂 TOOT TOOT🚂. Usually….

So just know-if you get me, or I get you-this is the type of person I strive to be on the daily, this is who I surround myself with, and the type of people I take advice from. My circle is pretty dang amazing. And if I recommend anyone? Know it doesn’t come lightly, I MEAN it, and I am NEVER paid to do it. I love collaboration and community over competition. Whatever it takes to get your day or event be the best of your life!

Despite getting my get up and get going going this morning, I’m afraid the sickness has officially settled.

With that being said, I’m waiting to pick up a prescription and will be in bed the remainder of the day.

All this to say, I will respond accordingly tomorrow to any requests, texts or calls as my body feels like it’s currently trying to unalive me.

Y’all hold it down for the day 🥴😘

‼️‼️Today’s Wedding PSA: PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY… DON’T. 😂‼️‼️

We love you. We want you to have the BEST wedding day ever. Which is exactly why we need to have a little serious-but-fun talk.

🚫 DO NOT fake tan the day of your wedding.
Please. I am begging you. Orange hands, streaky legs, white wedding dress… this is not the look we’re going for. If you want that glow, do it a few days ahead of time. Let it settle. Shower. Exfoliate. Be friends with your skin again.

🥂 DO NOT turn “getting ready mimosas” into a competitive sport.
One or two? Celebrate! Six before the ceremony? Now your makeup artist is doing emergency triage and your bridesmaids are holding your dress while you try to remember where you left your shoes. 😂
Eat something. Drink water. You have ALL day to celebrate.

👠 DO NOT wear brand-new shoes for the first time on your wedding day.
Your feet have not signed up for that level of betrayal. BREAK. THEM. IN.

💇‍♀️ DO NOT make a drastic hair change the week of your wedding.
“Surprise! I’m a redhead now!” is not something your photographer should have to process during bridal portraits.

💅 DO NOT schedule a brand-new beauty treatment right before the wedding.
New facials, peels, lashes, skincare products, spray tans, waxing experiments… PLEASE don’t make your wedding day the test run.

👰 And this one might be the biggest one… DO NOT INVITE PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE YOU FEEL GUILTY.

That aunt who always makes you feel terrible about yourself?

That friend who finds something wrong with everything?

That family member who brings drama everywhere they go?

You are allowed to have boundaries.

Your wedding is not a family reunion, a peace treaty, or an obligation.

You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to feed someone who makes you miserable simply because they share your last name.

Invite the people who love you, support you, celebrate you, and make you feel GOOD.

And finally…

❤️ DO NOT spend your wedding day worrying about making everyone else happy.

Something will probably go a little sideways.

Someone will be late.

Something may not look exactly like the Pinterest picture.

Someone may forget a boutonniere.

And you know what?

YOU WILL STILL BE MARRIED.

Take a breath. Look at your person. Soak it all in.

Because at the end of the day, the goal isn’t a perfectly executed wedding.

The goal is a beautiful beginning to your marriage. ❤️

— Your friendly neighborhood venue manager, who has seen some things. 😂

I see the “wedding vendors are overpriced” posts, and as a budget-friendly venue, I just want to say this:

A wedding isn’t expensive because vendors decided to charge more just because it says wedding.

It’s expensive because there are people, time, equipment, insurance, supplies, travel, setup, cleanup, taxes, overhead, and YEARS of experience behind the scenes making your day happen.

And trust me—we understand that budgets are real. That’s exactly why we work hard to keep our venue affordable. ❤️

So before calling a vendor “overpriced,” remember: you’re not just paying for what you see on wedding day. You’re paying for everything it takes to make wedding day happen.

Support your vendors. Ask questions. Know your budget.

And remember… your wedding doesn’t have to break the bank to be beautiful. 💍🌾
