Eco-Friendly Weddings: The Venue

There are many things to take into consideration when searching for an earth friendly wedding venue. Here are some ideas to get you started:
.
1. Choose a local venue to reduce travel time to and from.
.
2. An outdoor ceremony is ideal as you reduce/eliminate the need for heating/air conditioning, electricity, lighting, decor etc. (Think park, farm, garden, field, lakeside, mountain, etc).
.
3. Consider a single-site wedding (ceremony & reception at one location).
.
4. If selecting a location that offers catering ask if they use local ingredients.
.
5. Reduce your guest list in order to use a smaller venue (and thereby, less resources).
.
Happy Planning!
