- All right, people guess what Dakota and I are doing today?
We are going to tour wedding venues.
I know.
Insane, crazy.
All of the freaking wedding venues are booked out
through the end of the year because COVID is pushing a lot
of people's weddings to this year.
So we thought it was best. - Fingers crossed.
Yeah, that we go tour and try and find a venue
that we liked earlier rather than later.
So we're going to tour today a few
and then probably a few more next week.
We've already called a few and they are booked out.
So I'm getting a little nervous
that the ones we're gonna like, like one and it be booked.
- [Dakota] We have no idea.
We have no idea if these are gonna be available or not.
So fingers cross that we can find our favorite venue
and actually book it.
So we'll see how today goes.
(bright upbeat music)
Okay, y'all we are here at our first venue
and our first venue is called Wadley Farms
and I came to an event here, like maybe in October,
so not that long ago and I love this venue.
I think it's so cute.
My only hesitation with it is that it's a little similar
to Bailey's.
- It's looks just like Bailey's castle.
The difference is that this one they have like
a second half that's more, gardeny, like woodsy
and that's really what I would be using
but they do have a castle on the property
that looks just like Bailey's venue.
- [Dakota] Color and everything.
So if we do end up using this venue,
we're gonna have to make it look different.
(bright upbeat music)
We are at our second wedding venue of the day.
Honestly, I'm not really sure where we're supposed to go.
So we're just gonna walk till we find someone
who can tell us where we can go for the office tour.
This one does have a bit of construction going on right now.
So hopefully by the time we wanna schedule our wedding
that's not there anymore.
If we wanna use those venue.
- Tell everyone what you're excited about on this one.
- They have like a greenhouse
that I am like peaked my interest.
So we're gonna see.
All right, update on this venue.
We, first of all, did not know where to go for the office,
there are no signs.
There's nothing to guide you to where you're supposed to be.
So we finally found our way
to some house with somebody in it.
And this lady, she was like, oh yeah, I tried to call you.
We actually can't take your tour today.
But neither Dakota and I had gotten any calls.
It's like 45 minute drive out here.
So we're like, okay,
do you have a tour scheduled later today, we'll just wait?
She said, yes, we have this work scheduled for 3:15.
So we waited until 3:15 and it's now.
- [Dakota] 3:30.
- 3:30, she still hasn't shown up.
So we're assuming we're not getting the tour today.
We could peep into a few buildings just to get some clips
so you guys can kind of see what the tour looks like,
the venue looks like,
but based on the way that this has gone
we're not gonna use this venue.
This is where I think I would've liked
to have gotten married only because it's so beautiful,
this like greenhouse,
like it's just seriously stunning.
(bright upbeat music)
We are on our way to California.
We are gonna go see,
I think hopefully what is our last venue.
And then we'll kind of decide which one we wanna use
for our wedding.
We're literally just taking a two day trip
to California to go see the venue and then count back.
So it's really short, really quick and easy.
We don't see the venue today, but we do see it tomorrow.
So we just kind of have a free day in California today so.
- Chill in the nice sun.
- We're gonna go chill on the beach.
But anyway, so gonna show you guys the venue
when we get there.
(bright upbeat music)
So we are driving up in the Redwoods right now.
You can't even see it.
You guys don't even know, it's literally so dreamy.
The venue we're going to look at,
it's like this tiny little venue
in the middle of the Redwood Forest in California.
And I like, I've seen this venue before and I've loved it.
And we looked at some venues in our hometowns
and we just did not like it.
We were not loving anything we were seeing.
And we both were just like, you know what, screw it.
We're just gonna go to California.
And we're gonna look at this venue.
I would wager there's like a 95% chance
this is the venue we end up going with.
- It's so pretty.
- It's stunning.
We haven't even gone to the venue yet.
I'm not going like this, do not worry.
We are not going till tomorrow, but I'm so pumped.
Part of the venue is that it's like a retreat.
So they have these like really fun little cabins and stuff
for you and your party to stay at, your family to stay in
for like two days.
And you like have your rehearsal dinner there
then you stay the night,
then you get up and like have a casual morning,
and then you have like your wedding.
It's just like, perfect.
It's exactly what we want.
It's small, we're only each able to invite about 50 people.
We'll see how the venue tour goes.
(bright upbeat music)
Dakota and I are on our way to the wedding venue tour.
We're so excited to just like, see what it looks like
and get a good vibe.
So far the drive is literally stunning.
And the lady that runs this venue is literally
so friendly.
I've been, we've been, I should say, on the phone
with her multiple times and she's so chatty and so nice
and so workable.
So I have good, good high, high hopes
that this is the venue.
She was like, we just have like, kind of like a little party
for your wedding venue tour.
I'm excited to see what it's gonna look like
and how it's gonna be.
And just, you know, hopefully this is the one.
I mean tell me this isn't just like mysteriously,
beautifully stunning.
So we're at the venue and y'all are gonna die
when you see the house, freaking just even look at this,
look at how stunning this whole place is.
It's exactly what I want.
It's the perfect vibe.
I'm so pumped and so ready to like get wedding planning
and get started.
I think this is it.
(bright upbeat music)
Okay, this is the view.
So beautiful.
(bright upbeat music)
- [Tour Guide] You can see the stars through those.
(bright upbeat music)
- It has its own sauna and this outdoor bathtub.
Yeah, look at the inside.
How incredible is this?
Here's the dance floor.
And the stunning table.
Here's the groomsman trailer.
- [Dakota] This is like, so like cool.
- Got that back there.
Couch, kitchen, Dakota, what you think?
- This trailer's so cool.
This is awesome.
- Okay, so this is like the big table
that they have on property.
It's super long and like hand cut wood.
This little pathway up here takes you back
to where the cathedral is,
which is like the outdoor platform
that you like get married on.
This is like the parking area over here.
There's a little cabin with a bed in it for, you know,
somebody who wants to stay on property.
There can only be 10 cars on property,
but they have a shuttle service.
So make a note of that.
And this is obviously like the cabin.
Indoors there's a kitchen, there's a little sitting area
and then upstairs, there's like a bridal suite.
And then they have this whole like dance platform
right here.
And then just, you know, the view, everything down here.
This is the bar area.
And then these are like little tables you can use
for food or anything.
Drink area back here.
Can get a peek inside your glass.
Oh, there's like a sauna
And a hot tub, freaking nice.
And like a little outdoor shower.
And then another like little outdoor sitting area.
And she said this is where people who are doing
like food and stuff,
this is usually where like the caterer is set up
and they like have access to the kitchen in here.
And then also like their own little space
for like setting up and stuff.
And then this is like the little trailer
for the groomsmen that they like get to stay in.
And you get to stay the night before your wedding
and the night of your wedding.
Just taking a picture, the two of them.
Happening in how many months?
Soon I hope.
She's snapping a good picture.
Committed.
So pretty, look how pretty this is.
Look at these guys.
If this doesn't feel like fairytale,
I don't know what does.
(bright upbeat music)
