For those of you trying to plan your wedding from home, we are here to help! Can’t see a venue in person? Try contacting them for a virtual tour! We’ve actually photographed a wedding that the couple didn’t see it until the day of their wedding! It’s not as uncommon as you’d think.

If you’re feeling super uneasy about it, rely on your wedding planner to help guide you! We’re also happy to give you our feedback if you need, simply reach out.

To try and give you a little assistance, we thought we would take this week to share some of our favorite venues in Los Angeles!

First up, The Athenaeum at Cal Tech in Pasadena, California. This light, bright and stunning venue is beyond gorgeous. With its incredible architecture, lush greenery, gorgeous getting ready spaces for both the bride AND groom, multiple ceremony locations, delicious food and one breathtaking reception space, it’s easy to understand why it’s easily one of our most favorite places to spend a weekend and celebrate a wedding.

Athenaeum Wedding Pros:

• Separate designated getting ready spaces!

• Multiple ceremony locations for any type of weather.

• A beautiful, non-dated reception space.

• Can accommodate 200 guests!

• Delicious in-house catering & amazing staff

• Indoor and outdoor options
