Weekend Field Trip

So this past weekend Saturday was the big field trip to Charlottesville, VA. It was exciting to check out the two venues I loved.

The first was a dream at Keswick Hall

Danielle and I going home- cough cough I mean arriving at Keswick Hall

Pros: 

• Gorgeous venue with a European Bed and Breakfast Glamorous feel 
• Spacious room with dance floor 
• Deal for bedroom stay for guests- each bedroom is also different
• Decorated for the holiday season

Cons:

• Expensive!!!! $135 per person for BRUNCH. Seriously... This price includes the space but not drinks. Basically price is SUPER important since I'm on a budget. 
• Paying to reserve the rooms? 
• Will have to get my own cake made by bakers

The second was a reality but a GOOD one. Below is some photography I collected from Clifton Inn. 

Romantic but modern! 

Pro:

• More me! I love the little details and the shabby chic romantic yet modern feel. It would be perfect for an indie wedding.
• Value! Around $40 per person for brunch + the space cost which is lower for being winter time and during the week. 
• Discounted rooms that are each different. 
• Bar already there! 
• Decorated for holiday season 

Con: 

• Space- I'm worried that 50 people will make things crowded.
• Dance floor? Can we make it work?
• Will have to have my cake made by their bakers

We also checked out Keswick Vineyards to see if we could do a rehearsal dinner there or go there as an optional activity on the itinerary. 

Decision- Not for a wedding or rehearsal dinner BUT... would be a fun activity to go and do a wine tasting.
