A WORD OF CAUTION!
You finally got the nerve to pop the question and she said YES!
Now what?

Don't get caught up in the big wedding overwhelm.
Don't be tripped up by the frustration of a long engagement.

Yes! We know it's a big day.

But according to Zola, 74% of couples overspend on their weddings. Why?
* social pressure and family's expectations
* some venues charge more because its a wedding
* longer engagements means more time to shop
* Pinterest perfect photo comparisons
* emotional purchasing outside a budget

At Venue 1848, we have changed all that!
* Our couples can get married sooner than later.
* Our couples enjoy an intimate wedding.
* Our couples can stay in their budget.
* Our couples plan for life long marriage with SYMBIS.

Inquire.
We don't charge extra for weddings!
It's a major milestone in your life.
We'd love to help you celebrate it!

You did it! You pulled it off, man!
You got the ring. You got the photographer to hide in the bushes. It was the perfect surprise engagement.

Now, its time to plan for the BIG day. But….

The pressure is overwhelming. The details are immeasurable. The cost is ridiculous.

We know. We can help.

At Venue 1848 we encourage couples to spend their engagement season preparing for a lifetime of marriage, not just planning for the wedding day party.

How do we do it?

First, we are small by design. That limits the guest list to the people who really can affirm God’s direction as you and your bride move into a new season of life together.

You can plan your own packages that work within your budget. That means you don’t need a long engagement period and you can start your marriage without unnecessary debt.

Most importantly, our officiant service always comes with premarital counseling through an assessment tool called SYMBIS. That stands for Save Your Marriage Before It Starts.

Inquire today.
We would love to help you celebrate. . . . . . . . .

Don Wilk is the 'official" officiant at Venue 1848 and is registered with the commonwealth of Virginia. Don and Nancy are both certified facilitators with SYMBIS.com.

This is one of the treasures of our Hatch Market:
experience for the student vendors that provide beautiful and well made products to their customers
and it counts for school science and math and art and communications and time management and...
Well - home school moms get it!

It was a pleasure celebrating Susan and the work being done at Cornerstone Christian Academy. May the Lord continue to use you in his service.
