This is the time of year in the wedding business one could say we are also in the March Madness of Weddings playoffs. Brides are playing the game venue VS venue in search of finding the perfect venue to host their most memorable day.
We do book weddings year round but from January thru March seems to be tournament time for brides.
This time of year brings up many problems for venues when trying to show brides how beautiful their venue truly can be. When showing our wedding park this time of year you have to deal with sub zero temps, brown grass, no flowers and barren trees. We once had a groom ask if we planned on removing those dead trees before summer. Evidently he was not from Colorado.
I could go on and on and describe how beautiful our weddings are but think these photos will show you the beauty our past brides saw in their eyes.
Come on in and take tour of our beautiful ranch.

Brides and Venues Choices
Brides have so many choices nowadays when planning their wedding. They have to choose everything, from the perfect wedding location to what to do if the weather turns bad. I can’t even begin to list all of the decisions a bride will make from the time she is engaged to that special someone to the day of matrimony.
The same goes for wedding locations. We have to make choices daily and yearly to help brides take personal tours of the facility, and to keep the gardens beautiful year-round. One of the hardest decisions I feel we have to make is which magazines and websites to advertise with.
Without the proper advertising and marketing that will drive brides and grooms to our venue, none of the other decisions will exist.
We could use a little help from all brides, mothers of brides or friends helping plan the wedding. Where do you find yourself spending most of your planning time? Looking at magazines or websites? And which ones? If you have a moment, we sure could use some help in making decisions about where to invest our time to be most helpful and accessible to you. Please feel free to comment and tell us which resources you use. Knowing this will help with our marketing, and also help you secure the type of venue that you are looking for.
To thank you for sharing your opinion, we will send you a beautiful custom-made string of pearls. After commenting, please e-mail us your address, so we know where to send the pearls. E-mail info@ellisrancheventcenter.com, with the subject line “Pearls.”
Photos and links to the magazines listed are only examples. If you have another web site or magazine please state those sites too in your comments.
