We Have A Venue

4 weeks to the day after getting engaged, Ryan and I settled on a venue and a date for our wedding!  We looked at some amazing places, all of them really cool and unique in their own way, but after some deliberation we decided on (drum roll please).... City Cottage on Choteau!  This location was my favorite from the beginning and I even started scouting it's availability prior to our engagement (can you say crazy) and I am so excited that my dad and Ryan loved this space as much as I did!  The fact that we also got a generous discount because I went to high school with the owner's daughters did not hurt anything either!  We are going to have our ceremony and reception all on site to make it easy for our out of town, and tipsy, guests! In addition to this space being perfectly beautiful it also comes with a wedding planner who will handle all of the vendors.  If you've been around me during the last month of planning and you have seen how stressed I have been, you know that this little *bonus* is much needed for both my, and Ryan's, sanity!  So while we still have a lot of items left on our to-do list, being able to check this one off takes a lot of pressure off my shoulders.  Now onto the dress hunt!

Cute little sitting area in the bar area, those doors open up to the beautiful patio

View of the patio with a cute wood burning fire pit and a mini-bar, I cannot wait to put a band out here!

I'm so excited for April to hurry up and get here, I cannot wait to see all of our hard work come together!
