Wedding Venues I Recommend! ~ http://WeddingWoman.net

Following is a list of wedding venues that I recommend. 

I have officiated weddings at these places and recommend them for different reasons. Some of those are: They are very beautiful, some are all inclusive (e.g. all you need to provide are your flowers, officiant, photographer), different styles e.g. Southern Mansion vs. Contemporary/Industrual look, inexpensive or no charge and, just a nice place to get married!  I have photographs  of most, let me know if you want me to send the pics or have questions. I serve 3 states; I am listing all.  I try to keep the list updated, please let me know if any information changes (event manager, email address etc).
Please tell any that you contact that you found them here/ I referred you.  Thank you, Brenda~ http://WeddingWoman.net
