Why is education so important?
Your venue choice will likely have the biggest impact on your overall wedding expenses.
And it has little to do about the venue price is.
We created these educational pages to help couples make the best decision for themselves.
​
Why? To help you find the best venue that fits your style and budget.
​
The investment in your wedding celebration is a large purchase, and while it is easy to learn how to purchase a house or car, many venues in the wedding industry make it difficult for you to understand the "true cost" of your wedding investment until you are contractually locked in... and too late.
Price, of course, is not everything, so if you see yourself celebrating at a couple different venues, or want to know whether you can afford the venue you love, this guide will help with your decision, whether it is at The BRIX or elsewhere.
