What is luxury? There is no one answer, because based on your individual taste we all consider luxury to be something different.
The same goes with luxury wedding venues, not every venue is going to be liked by a couple and that’s ok. This is why you have options.
When you start your hunt for a wedding venue, it’s almost like ‘window shopping,’ checking out what’s available, what you like and don’t like. As you move from venue to venue it’s likely the decision becomes harder because you are overloaded with options.
This is where the secret lies. Within the wedding industry, a lot of people know or know of each other whether they are luxury wedding venues, DJ’s, decorators or caterers. Remember, over the years, all of these companies will have worked together.
For example, as DJs, we work alongside venues and caterers day in, day out, and over the years we’ve created and maintained relationships with them.
Word of mouth is valuable, but getting the intel of a venue from someone who’s been there and done it over and over again is more.
Musical Movements are your inside people. We’ve come up with a list of luxury venues that our DJ’s are frequently at, so we can share everything there is to know about them!
