Newly Engaged? Let’s Start Planning!

Getting engaged is an exciting and joyous milestone for any couple and their families. Following the proposal, conversations often center around the engagement story and the ring. But as the initial bliss settles in, thoughts inevitably turn to the big questions: when and where will the wedding take place?

While planning a wedding can sometimes feel overwhelming, it doesn’t have to be. Instead, it can be a magical time of dreaming, exploring endless possibilities, and creating a shared vision with your fiancé and loved ones. Open communication is key—talk with each other about what you envision for your big day to ensure your dreams align and the planning process remains joyful and collaborative.

Here are some questions to get started.

How much planning, set up and clean up do we want to do (our family & friends to do)?

When newly engaged couples start touring venues, they often bring along family and friends to help with this exciting and significant decision. As they envision their special day, it’s easy to focus on key factors like size and cost—both important considerations. However, one crucial element is sometimes overlooked: the level of service.

While some venues provide only the space, leaving staffing, setup, and cleanup entirely up to you, others offer comprehensive support to ensure your day runs smoothly. At the end of your wedding day, what do you want your loved ones to remember—celebrating with you or handling logistics? Choosing a venue that prioritizes service can make all the difference. Old Glory Ranch may just be what you are looking for.
