Picking a Venue for our Wedding

Hi Hon,
   I've decided to try something new, i'm making a blog so that you can go through all the options without having to go through my excel spread sheets. So I am going to post each location with my thoughts and i'm encouraging you to comment on any post you likes or dislikes. Hope you like it, and I hope it helps.
Love,
-Ben
